About XML Minifier
Indented XML is easy to read but carries a lot of whitespace that adds up when documents are stored or transmitted at scale. The XML Minifier removes the line breaks and spacing between elements, collapsing your document into a compact form while keeping every tag, attribute, and value exactly where it belongs.
Paste your XML and the tool returns a minified version instantly. It's free, browser-based, and requires no account. Use it to shrink a SOAP request before sending it, compress configuration or feed data for storage, or reduce the size of XML payloads moving between services, lowering bandwidth and storage costs without changing the structure or content of the document.
Common uses
- Compress a SOAP request or response before transmitting it
- Shrink XML config or feed data before storing it
- Reduce the size of an XML payload exchanged between services
- Strip indentation from a generated document to save bytes
- Prepare compact XML for embedding in another format

FAQ
Does minifying change my XML content?
No. It removes whitespace between elements. Tags, attributes, and text content stay intact.
Is whitespace inside elements preserved?
Significant whitespace within text content is generally kept, but review the output if your document depends on exact spacing.
How do I make it readable again?
Run the minified output through the XML Formatter to restore indentation and line breaks.
Will it validate the XML?
It parses the document to minify it, so malformed XML will fail and indicate a problem.
Can I use XML Minifier on mobile?
Yes — ToolHub is fully responsive and works on iPhone, Android, tablets and all modern browsers. No app install needed.
