Private by design

This conversion runs entirely in your browser. Your text is not sent to a server.

Tip

SQL formatting only rewrites whitespace and keyword layout. XML must be well-formed or you will see an error.

How to convert with SQL Formatter

  1. Paste a SQL query or XML document.

  2. The formatted result updates as you type — nothing is uploaded.

  3. Use Convert to to switch between SQL and XML formatters.

  4. Copy the result. Nothing is executed against a database.

When should you use it?

  • SQL

    Put clauses on their own lines so a long query is readable.

  • XML

    Pretty-print a document before you inspect or convert it.

  • Review

    Format locally before you paste into a ticket or review.

  • Stays here

    Queries and documents never leave this tab.

Your text stays private.

About formatting SQL and XML in the browser

SQL Formatter rewrites whitespace and keyword layout so SELECT / FROM / WHERE are readable. It does not execute the query and does not talk to a database. XML Formatter indents well-formed documents; malformed XML shows an error instead of inventing tags. Convert to switches between SQL and XML formatters.

Worked example: a one-line SELECT with several JOINs becomes clauses on their own lines. A nested XML config becomes an indented tree. This is not a SQL dialect validator and not an XML schema checker.

SQL Formatter FAQ

Yes. Paste a query into SQL Formatter. Clauses like SELECT, FROM, and WHERE indent locally as you type. Export saves a .sql file.

It only rewrites whitespace and keyword casing for readability. It does not execute SQL or connect to a database.
