SQL Formatter
Format and beautify SQL scripts locally in the browser.

Input
Private by design: your SQL never leaves your device. It is not executed and there is no database connection.
Successful formatting does not mean the SQL is syntactically correct, semantically valid, or executable.

The SQL formatter formats SQL queries directly in your browser according to a chosen dialect — Standard SQL is only a common compatibility profile, not a real dialect. A formatting preset bundles settings such as keyword, function, and data-type case, indentation, and AND/OR wrapping, but automatically switches to “Custom” the moment a single option is changed manually.
Typical searches include SQL formatter, SQL beautifier, and PostgreSQL MySQL SQL. Granular options control expression width, operator spacing, blank lines, and semicolon behavior individually. Important: successful formatting does not mean the SQL is syntactically correct, semantically valid, or executable — there is no database connection and no execution, and formatting only improves readability, not query performance.
Typical use cases
Make an unwieldy legacy query readable
Paste a single-line or inconsistently indented SQL query to make it readable with clear indentation and consistent keyword case.
Prepare a SQL file with dialect-specific formatting
Upload a .sql file and choose the specific target dialect such as PostgreSQL or MySQL for correctly formatted output.
Tips for better results
Choose a specific dialect instead of Standard SQL
Choose the specific target dialect like PostgreSQL or MySQL, since Standard SQL is only a common compatibility profile and doesn't format dialect-specific syntax optimally.
Don't mistake formatting for validation
A successfully formatted query can still be syntactically wrong or semantically invalid — also test it against the real database.

Granular formatting options
Control keyword, function, and data-type case, indentation, and AND/OR wrapping individually.
Dialect-specific presets

No execution, no connection
The SQL is only formatted; there is no database connection and no execution.
Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Does formatting check whether my SQL is correct?
No. Successful formatting does not mean the SQL is syntactically correct, semantically valid, or executable.
Is a connection to a database established?
No. There is no database connection; the SQL is only formatted locally, not executed.
