XML Pretty Print

What is XML Pretty Print?

XML Pretty Print is an easy-to-use online tool that formats and beautifies XML so it is easier to read and work with. You can paste XML, upload a file, or load from a URL. The tool adds consistent indentation and line breaks and validates the data before formatting.

Our XML Pretty Print tool works in the browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari. It is a handy alternative to Notepad++, VSCode, or Sublime for quickly pretty-printing XML. You can pretty print XML, print or copy the result, and clear the view as needed.

1. Enter XML: Paste your XML into the input area, upload an XML file, or use the sample button to load example XML
