Remove Code Comments

Paste HTML, CSS, or JS to strip out all comments, leaving clean executable code.

Comments are essential during development but sometimes need to be stripped before sharing a snippet publicly, minifying a file manually, or cleaning up code before a final review. This tool removes comments specific to each language's comment syntax.

Select whether your code is HTML, CSS, or JavaScript, since each uses different comment delimiters — HTML uses <!-- -->, CSS uses /* */, and JavaScript supports both // and /* */ styles.

This is useful for cleaning up a code snippet before sharing it, reducing file size for a quick manual minification pass, or removing outdated commented-out code before a final commit.

Because everything runs locally in your browser, results appear instantly and nothing you type or upload is ever sent to a server.

This kind of task shows up constantly in everyday writing, coding, design, and admin work, which is exactly why a dedicated, focused tool saves so much back-and-forth.

A tool that does one job well, without a cluttered interface or unrelated features competing for attention, tends to be faster to use than a heavier all-in-one app.

If you find yourself needing this conversion or calculation often, keeping this page open in a tab is usually faster than digging through a bigger software suite's menus.

Frequently asked questions

Will this remove comments inside a string literal by mistake?

This uses straightforward pattern matching for comment syntax; code with comment-like patterns inside string literals is a known edge case that simple regex-based removal can occasionally mishandle, so review the result for unusual code.

Does this affect code functionality?

No, removing comments doesn't change how the code executes — comments are ignored by browsers and interpreters regardless, so this purely affects readability and file size.
