The css minifier works like this: it compresses CSS by removing whitespace, comments, trailing semicolons and zero-unit suffixes. Everything happens on your device - the input never leaves your tab unless the tool clearly states it performs a server-side lookup.

Frequently asked questions
Will colors be shortened?
Where unambiguous: #ffffff becomes #fff. Alpha hex colors and named colors are preserved.
What exactly gets removed?
Comments, whitespace around selectors and declarations, trailing semicolons before closing braces, and redundant units on zero values (0px becomes 0) - all changes with zero rendering effect.
Can I minify a whole stylesheet with media queries?
Yes - at-rule blocks are minified as units, so responsive rules compress with the same safety as the base styles.
