This Basic JavaScript Minifier is a simple tool designed to help reduce the size of your JS files. It performs two main tasks: it strips out all single-line and multi-line comments, and it collapses multiple empty lines into a single one. This can help make your script files slightly smaller and faster to download.
Please note this is not an advanced minifier. It does not rename variables, shorten code, or perform the complex optimizations that tools like Terser or UglifyJS do. It is best used for simple, quick cleanups where removing comments is the primary goal.

📦JavaScript Minifier (Basic)
This is a basic minifier that only removes comments and extra newlines. It does not rename variables or perform advanced optimizations.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the limitation of this minifier?
This tool only removes comments and extra newlines. It doesn't perform advanced code analysis to shorten variable names or rewrite logic, which is where the most significant file size reductions come from. For production applications, a more advanced build tool is recommended.
Is it safe to use?
It is generally safe for removing comments, but complex regular expressions can sometimes have unintended side effects, for example if comment markers appear inside of string literals. Always test your code after minification.
