Can I use this tool to format SVG files?

Yes. SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is an XML-based format. You can paste SVG code to format, indent, and inspect vector paths cleanly.

Is there a file size limit for formatting XML?

Because parsing runs entirely in your browser's memory, you can format multi-megabyte XML files, sitemaps, and SOAP responses without server timeout restrictions.

Can I minify XML back to a single line?

Yes. You can switch between 'Beautify' (indented) and 'Minify' (compressed single line with whitespace stripped) with one click.
