Why format SQL?

Minified or hand-written SQL is hard to review in PRs and hard to debug in production. Consistent formatting makes joins, filters, and aliases obvious at a glance.

What the SQL Formatter does

Paste a query, pick a dialect (SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery, Snowflake, and more), then choose indent size, keyword case, and indent style. Output updates as you type.

How to use it

  1. Open SQL Formatter in SQLStudio.
  2. Paste SQL or load the sample query.
  3. Select your dialect and formatting preferences.
  4. Copy or download the beautified SQL.

Formatting happens in your browser. Queries are never uploaded — ideal for internal schemas and customer data extracts.
