SQL Formatter
Paste a query, choose a consistent layout, and scan SELECT, FROM, JOIN, WHERE, GROUP BY, and ORDER BY clauses more easily. Formatting changes whitespace and indentation, not the intended query logic.
Open SQL Formatter →No account required for basic use. Check the tool notes before using sensitive data.
