About Typescript Formatter

TypeScript Formatter is a free online tool that takes minified, compressed, or inconsistently indented TypeScript code and reformats it into clean, readable source. It handles all TypeScript-specific syntax — interfaces, type aliases, generics, enums, decorators, async/await, and class definitions — applying consistent indentation and brace placement so the structure of your code is immediately clear.

You would reach for this tool when you receive a minified .ts file from a build artifact, copy a snippet from documentation that has lost its formatting, or review auto-generated code from a framework that outputs everything on one line. Unlike running a local formatter such as Prettier, there is nothing to install or configure: paste your code, click Format, and the result is ready to copy or download as a .ts file. A built-in Minify mode also works in the opposite direction, stripping comments and collapsing whitespace when you need a compact version for embedding.

All formatting is done entirely in your browser using the js-beautify library. Your TypeScript source never leaves your machine and is never sent to a server, logged, or stored anywhere. This makes the tool safe for proprietary application code, internal library types, and any TypeScript that contains business-sensitive logic.

Key Features

check_circle

Formats TypeScript-specific syntax

Correctly handles interfaces, type annotations, generics like Array<T>, enums, decorators, and async function signatures — not just plain JavaScript constructs.

check_circle

Bidirectional: format and minify

One tool handles both directions. Use Format to expand minified code into readable source, or Minify to strip comments and collapse whitespace for embedding or comparison.

check_circle

Configurable indentation

Choose 2-space, 4-space, or tab indentation from the toolbar before formatting, so the output matches your team's code style guide without any extra editing.

check_circle

File upload and download

Load a .ts or .tsx file directly from disk instead of copying its contents. After formatting, download the result as formatted.ts with a single click.

check_circle

100% client-side, no installation

Formatting runs locally in your browser via js-beautify. No account, no install, no server upload — your proprietary TypeScript stays on your machine.

check_circle

Built-in sample code

Use the Sample button to load a realistic TypeScript snippet featuring interfaces, generics, and async classes, so you can preview the output format before pasting your own code.

How to Use

01

Paste Your TypeScript

Copy your minified or messy TypeScript code and paste it into the input editor on the left.

02

Format or Minify

Click "Format" to beautify with proper indentation, or "Minify" to compress for production use.

03

Copy the Result

Use the copy button to grab your formatted TypeScript, or download it as a .ts file.

Example

A minified TypeScript snippet containing an interface and a generic async function is expanded into indented, readable source with the 2-space indent option.

Minified TypeScript input
interface User{id:number;name:string;email:string;isActive:boolean}async function fetchUser(userId:number):Promise<User>{const response=await fetch(`/api/users/${userId}`);if(!response.ok){throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`)}return response.json() as Promise<User>}
Formatted TypeScript output
interface User {
  id: number;
  name: string;
  email: string;
  isActive: boolean;
}

async function fetchUser(userId: number): Promise<User> {
  const response = await fetch(`/api/users/${userId}`);
  if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}`);
  }
  return response.json() as Promise<User>;
}

Common Use Cases

  • arrow_circle_right

    Reading minified build artifacts

    TypeScript declaration files and bundled output are often single-line. Paste the .ts source into the formatter to recover a readable version you can review, debug, or copy from.

  • arrow_circle_right

    Reviewing auto-generated TypeScript

    Code generators for ORMs, API clients, and gRPC stubs often produce syntactically correct but densely formatted TypeScript. Format it first to make a meaningful code review possible.

  • arrow_circle_right

    Normalising code copied from documentation

    README files and Stack Overflow answers frequently strip indentation when you copy them. Paste into the formatter to restore proper block structure before dropping the snippet into your project.

  • arrow_circle_right

    Comparing two versions of a TypeScript file

    Run both versions through the formatter with the same indentation setting before diffing them, so differences in logic stand out rather than differences in whitespace.

  • arrow_circle_right

    Preparing TypeScript for embedding in articles or documentation

    Use the Minify mode to produce a compact, comment-free version of a TypeScript snippet intended for embedding in a blog post, documentation site, or inline configuration string.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a TypeScript Formatter? expand_more
A TypeScript Formatter is a tool that takes minified or poorly indented TypeScript code and restructures it with consistent indentation, line breaks, and proper spacing, making it readable and easy to work with.
Does this tool handle TypeScript-specific syntax? expand_more
Yes. The formatter correctly handles interfaces, type annotations, generics, enums, decorators, and all other TypeScript-specific language features.
Is my code secure when using this tool? expand_more
Yes. All formatting happens locally in your browser. Your TypeScript code is never sent to any external server, ensuring complete privacy.
Can I customize the indentation? expand_more
Yes. Choose between 2 spaces, 4 spaces, or tab-based indentation using the selector in the toolbar before formatting.
Can I upload a TypeScript file? expand_more
Yes. Click the upload button to load a .ts or .tsx file directly from your computer into the editor.
How is this different from the JavaScript Formatter on this site? expand_more
Both tools use the same underlying js-beautify engine, but this tool is purpose-built for TypeScript. It is the right choice when your file contains TypeScript-only syntax such as interfaces, type aliases, generics, or decorators. The JS Formatter targets plain .js files and does not guarantee correct handling of TypeScript type annotations.
Can this tool format .tsx files as well as .ts files? expand_more
Yes. You can upload a .tsx file using the upload button, and the formatter will handle JSX syntax embedded in TypeScript correctly, because js-beautify supports JSX via its e4x option.
Does the Minify option produce the same output as a production bundler? expand_more
No. The built-in minifier strips comments and collapses whitespace but does not rename variables, remove dead code, or perform tree-shaking. It is useful for reducing the visual footprint of a snippet, but production bundles should still be processed by a proper tool such as esbuild or the TypeScript compiler.
