Code Comment Remover
Strip common single-line and block comments from code in several languages - pattern-based, not a full language parser.
Paste your code and choose its language style - this tool strips out single-line and block comments using that language's comment syntax.
This uses pattern matching, not a full language parser - it can occasionally misidentify a comment-like sequence inside a string literal. Review the output before relying on it for anything critical.
Regex/pattern-based comment removal cannot perfectly parse every edge case (like a comment marker inside a string literal) - always review the output before relying on it.
What Does This Tool Do?
It removes comments matching common patterns for a chosen language style - // and /* */ for JavaScript/PHP/CSS-style languages, # for Python/shell-style languages, and -- for SQL.
Why Use This Tool?
Useful for quickly stripping comments from a code snippet before sharing or minifying it, when a full language-specific tool isn't necessary.
How to Use It
- Paste your code.
- Choose the comment style matching your language.
- Copy the comment-stripped result.
Important Notes
This uses pattern matching, not a full language parser - a comment-marker character appearing inside a string literal (e.g. a URL containing //) can be incorrectly treated as a comment start. Always review the output before using it.
