What this developer tool does

Validate CSS structure and detect unmatched blocks, malformed declarations, duplicate properties, invalid hexadecimal colors, and undefined custom-property references. Safe fixes are reported separately.

Input protection → structural scan → selected transformation or analysis → validation → copy-ready output and measured statistics.

Processing is performed locally. Advanced language edge cases may require a full standards-based parser or project-specific toolchain.

Example

Input:

.card {
  color #fff;
  padding: 10px;
  padding: 12px;
  background: #12ZZ99;
}
Output: Run the included example to see a real result generated by this tool.

Tips for better output

  • Test converted code in the target browser or runtime.
  • Keep an original copy before applying automated changes.
  • Large inputs are processed locally; disable auto-run when editing very large files.
  • Pattern-based analysis may not cover every language edge case.

FAQ

How do I check CSS syntax errors online?

Paste the stylesheet and run validation to detect structural and declaration-level problems locally in the browser.

How can I find missing semicolons in CSS?

The validator flags malformed declaration segments and can add safe trailing semicolons in safe-fix mode.

How do I detect duplicate CSS properties?

Declarations are checked per rule and repeated property names are reported with their selector context.

How can I check undefined CSS variables?

References using var() are compared with declared custom properties and unresolved names are reported as candidates.

How do I validate CSS without uploading my code?

All processing runs in the browser and the page does not need to send the source to a server.
