SQL Tools
Format SQL, explore joins, and clean queries for PostgreSQL and MySQL — 8 free tools, no signup required.
SQL Tools help you format messy queries, explore joins, and turn ORM snippets into readable SQL. Clean SQL is easier to review in pull requests, cheaper to optimize, and safer to hand to teammates who did not write the original query.
Use these utilities when you are stuck between an ORM and the database console, or when a long one-liner needs indentation before you can spot a missing JOIN condition.

FAQ
Which SQL dialects are supported?

Is my query stored?
SQL formatting runs in the browser. Do not paste production secrets or PII into any online tool.
