SQL Formatter
Format SQL queries with readable indentation and line breaks, making SELECT, JOIN, WHERE, and INSERT statements easier to review.
How to Use
- Paste your SQL into the input area (even single-line queries generated by an ORM like Prisma or Hibernate)
- Choose the indent width: 2 spaces for pasting into Slack or Notion; 4 spaces for code review on GitHub or GitLab
- Click "Format SQL" — everything runs in your browser, no SQL is sent to an external server
- The result splits SELECT, FROM, JOIN, WHERE, GROUP BY, and ORDER BY onto separate lines with consistent indentation for subqueries and CTEs
- Copy the result to your clipboard and paste it into DBeaver, DataGrip, pgAdmin, Navicat, or a Jira ticket
- Take the formatted query into `EXPLAIN ANALYZE` on your database to spot bottlenecks in BI reports or ETL pipelines
All processing is done in your browser, and files are never sent to a server.
