Clean up your code indentation. Convert Tabs to Spaces (2 or 4) or Spaces to Tabs instantly. Perfect for Python, JavaScript, and HTML.
In the world of programming, indentation consistency is key. The "Tabs vs. Spaces" debate is old, but mixing them is universally accepted as a bad practice. Mixing tabs and spaces can cause code to look broken on different editors or result in syntax errors (like in Python).
\t) into 4 space characters.Not sure which one to pick? Here is a quick guide:
| Language | Standard | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Python | 4 Spaces | Strictly enforced. Use Tabs to 4 Spaces. |
| JavaScript | 2 Spaces | Common convention. Use Tabs to 2 Spaces. |
| Go (Golang) | Tabs | Use Spaces to Tabs. |
| HTML/CSS | 2 Spaces | Keeps nested structures readable. |
Consistent indentation is cleaner and easier to debug.
A tab character's width varies between editors. It might look like 4 spaces on your screen but 8 on your colleague's. Using spaces guarantees that your code looks exactly the same for everyone, everywhere.
Pixel-perfect alignment for every line.
Avoid IndentationError in Python.
When pasting code into StackOverflow, GitHub Gists, or documentation, tabs often get mangled or converted unpredictably. converting to spaces before you share ensures your snippet remains readable.
Currently, the tool replaces all instances found in the text. This ensures that alignment within lines (like aligning comments) is also maintained.
It changes whitespace characters only. However, if your code relies on mixed indentation (which it shouldn't!), you should check the output. For Python, it's a lifesaver.
Yes. All conversion happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your proprietary code is never sent to our servers.
