About the INI Formatter
The INI Formatter parses INI configuration files and rewrites them with consistent section and key=value structure.
How it works: the tool parses the INI into an object then stringifies it back, normalizing spacing around "=", section grouping, and removing inconsistencies.
The INI format is used in many app configs (e.g. .gitconfig, php.ini, desktop files). Normalizing it makes it tidy and easy to read.
FAQ
Can this INI tool both format and minify?
Yes. One page with a toggle — Format mode prettifies (beautifies) with indentation, and Minify mode compacts it. No need for two separate pages.
Is my code sent to a server?
No. INI is processed entirely in your browser using JavaScript/WebAssembly. Your code never leaves your device.
