YAML Formatter

Paste or import YAML above and click Prettify to reformat it with consistent indentation and spacing — free, in your browser, with nothing uploaded to a server. Powered by Prettier.

Indentation-sensitive

YAML structure depends on indentation, so invalid nesting or mixed list/object levels will fail instead of being guessed.

Common pitfalls

Tabs, ambiguous booleans, unquoted colons, and accidental duplicate keys are common YAML review points after formatting.
