SQL Formatter makes SQL queries easier to scan by adding line breaks around clauses, joins, and conditions. It is useful for debugging queries, docs, and code reviews.
Format common SQL queries with readable line breaks and indentation. Everything runs locally in this tab.
select id, email, created_at from users where active = true order by created_at desc limit 50
Yes. The tool is free and runs directly in your browser with no account required.
No. The query text is reformatted locally in the browser tab and is not sent to a server.
Turning a single-line or copy-pasted SQL query into a readable version with clauses, joins, and conditions each on their own line.
SELECT, FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING, LIMIT, OFFSET, the JOIN variants (INNER/LEFT/RIGHT/FULL/plain JOIN), VALUES, and SET each start a new line, with AND/OR conditions and comma-separated lists indented beneath them.
No — this is a text formatter based on keyword patterns, not a SQL parser. It reformats whitespace around recognized keywords but doesn't check whether the query would actually run.
It works on standard ANSI SQL keyword patterns common to MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and SQL Server. Dialect-specific syntax (like T-SQL's TOP or PostgreSQL's DISTINCT ON) isn't specifically recognized but generally passes through unaffected.
No — it only adjusts whitespace and line breaks. Table names, column names, and query logic are left exactly as written.
The formatter processes the text you paste as a whole; multiple semicolon-separated statements will have their combined keywords broken onto new lines, but it's most reliable on one query at a time.
