TOON Minifier - Compress and Optimize TOON Format for LLMs
Free online TOON minifier tool to compress TOON format data, reduce token count, and optimize for Large Language Models (LLMs) with real-time statistics.
How to Use TOON Minifier - Step by Step Guide
Input Your TOON Data
Paste your TOON formatted data into the input editor, upload a .toon file, or click "Sample" to see an example. You can convert from JSON, CSV, or YAML if needed.

The tool automatically shows you:
- Size Reduction: Percentage of bytes saved
- Token Savings: Estimated tokens saved (crucial for LLM costs)
- Compression Ratio: How much smaller the minified version is
- Absolute Savings: Exact bytes saved
Use Minified TOON
Copy the minified TOON or download it as a file. Use it in your LLM applications or convert it to other formats like JSON, CSV, or Table. The minified version is:

Frequently Asked Questions
What is TOON minification?
TOON minification removes all unnecessary whitespace and formatting from TOON format data while preserving its structure and content. This reduces token count, which is crucial for optimizing LLM prompts and reducing API costs. You can also use our TOON Validator to check syntax before minifying.
How much can I save with TOON minification?
Typical savings range from 15-40% in token count, depending on how much whitespace and formatting your original TOON data contains. For heavily formatted TOON files, you can save even more. The tool shows exact savings in real-time.
Does minification change my data?
No! Minification only removes unnecessary whitespace. Your data structure and all values remain exactly the same. The minified TOON can be decoded to the exact same result as the original.
Why is token count important?
LLM providers like OpenAI and Anthropic charge based on tokens. Reducing token count directly reduces your API costs. Additionally, models have context length limits measured in tokens.
Can I minify large TOON files?
Yes! The minifier handles TOON files of any size efficiently. For very large files, you'll see even more significant savings in absolute bytes and tokens. You can also use our TOON Viewer to visualize the minified data or TOON Formatter to beautify it again.
Is this tool free?
Yes, completely free with no limits! Minify as many TOON files as you need, with real-time statistics and instant results.
