Is minified code safe to use in production?

Yes. Minification only removes whitespace and comments. The code logic, selectors, and functionality are completely preserved.

How much does minification reduce file size?

Typical reduction is 20–50% for CSS and HTML, and 30–60% for JavaScript. Heavily commented or well-formatted code sees the most benefit.

Can I reverse (unminify) minified code?

Use the JSON Formatter or a code prettifier to restore readable formatting. Note that original comments and variable names may be lost if the minifier also obfuscates.

Should I use this instead of a build tool like webpack?

For production projects, build tools like webpack, Vite, or Rollup are better as they also handle bundling, tree-shaking, and source maps. This tool is great for quick one-off minification.
