Roblox Luau Formatter

Last updated:

Clean up common Roblox Luau snippets with predictable indentation and safer copy-paste output for Studio workflows.

Runs locally in your browser. No data leaves your device.

What this tool helps you answer

What this tool helps you answer

A good fit when a Luau snippet is messy but still structurally simple enough for a conservative formatter.

Luau input

Formatted Luau output

How to review the output

Treat the formatted result as cleanup help, not as a guarantee that the code is fully valid or stylistically perfect.

  • Quiet warnings usually mean the formatter stayed in safe territory.
  • If multiline strings or block comments appear, review the output manually before trusting it.
  • Use the Lua Table Formatter when the real problem is a dense table block rather than a full script.

Assumptions

  • This formatter is intentionally conservative and is not a full Luau parser.
  • Multiline strings, block comments, or advanced syntax may need manual review after formatting.
  • All formatting happens locally in the browser.

Worked examples

Re-indent a quick control-flow snippet

Clean up common if/then and function layout after a fast prototype edit.

Code
local coins=5;if coins>0 then print(coins) end
Indent
4 spaces

Useful for short Studio snippets and docs examples.

Make a small callback block readable

Separate statements and fix nesting before code review.

Code
task.spawn(function() for i=1,3 do print(i) end end)
Indent
2 spaces

Best for common Studio scripting patterns that do not depend on advanced syntax.

How to use this tool

Paste the Luau code, choose an indent size, then review the output and warnings before copying it back into Studio.

  1. Paste the Luau snippet you want to clean up.

  2. Set the indent size you prefer for nested blocks.

  3. Run the formatter and review any warnings about multiline or advanced syntax.

  4. Copy the cleaned output once the structure looks right.

Why a lightweight Luau formatter helps

Sometimes you just need a pasted Luau snippet to become readable before it goes into review, docs, or Studio. A lightweight formatter handles those common cleanup jobs quickly without needing a larger editor or runtime-heavy parser.

What this formatter does not promise

  • It improves common indentation and statement layout for typical Studio scripts.
  • It does not fully parse or validate every Luau language edge case.
  • Multiline strings, block comments, and advanced syntax should always be reviewed manually after formatting.

Use Cases

  • Estimate creator earnings, pricing, and DevEx scenarios without leaving the browser.
  • Clean up Studio values, IDs, and table data for faster Roblox build workflows.
  • Plan group payouts, badge art, and creator operations with transparent local tools.
