SQL Query Formatter
Paste messy or minified SQL and get clean, properly indented output.
How to use this tool
Paste your SQL into the SQL Input box, then pick the dialect — Standard SQL, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, or SQL Server — that matches your database. The Formatted Output panel updates instantly, reindenting each clause onto its own line and uppercasing keywords like SELECT, JOIN, and WHERE for readability. If the SQL contains a syntax error for the selected dialect, an error message appears instead so you can spot the problem quickly. Use the Copy button next to the output to copy the cleaned-up query to your clipboard.
