What is Remove CSS Comments?

Remove CSS Comments is a tool that strips all comments from CSS code. It removes both single-line and multi-line comments while preserving the actual CSS rules and declarations. This results in cleaner, more compact code that maintains full functionality.

Why Remove CSS Comments?

Removing comments from CSS files offers several benefits for web development:

  • Reduced File Size: Comments can add significant bulk to CSS files, especially in well-documented stylesheets
  • Faster Loading Times: Smaller CSS files download and parse more quickly, improving page load performance
  • Production Readiness: Clean, comment-free CSS is ideal for production environments
  • Code Privacy: Removing comments can eliminate potentially sensitive information or developer notes
  • Cleaner Code Base: For projects where comments are no longer needed or relevant
  • First Step in Minification: Comment removal is a key component of CSS minification processes

Using our Remove CSS Comments tool is straightforward:

  1. Paste your CSS code with comments into the input area
