CSS comment extraction workflows
Use this extractor when pasted CSS needs a browser-local list of TODO notes, override comments, or migration hints before cleanup.
Review legacy notes
Pair comments with Extract CSS Selectors, Extract CSS Variables, and Extract CSS Important Declarations.
Document stylesheet cleanup
Use Extract CSS Imports, Extract CSS URLs, and CSS Formatter beside comment inventories.
Clean copied rows
Send copied comments to Remove Duplicate Lines, Sort Lines, or Normalize Whitespace.
What this tool does
Extract CSS Comments finds /* comment */ notes in pasted CSS, removes duplicates, shows source lines, and runs locally in your browser.
Common use cases
Extract comment notes from pasted CSS, legacy stylesheets, theme files, or copied style blocks before cleanup planning, migration, code review, or documentation inventory.
Use Extract CSS Comments when you are working with copied API payloads, logs, encoded values, config snippets, identifiers, or debugging data and need a quick browser-local check before pasting the result into docs, tickets, tests, or another developer tool.
How to use it
- Paste CSS, theme files, copied style blocks, or legacy stylesheets that may contain comments.
- Choose whether duplicate comments should be removed and whether comment text should be normalized.
- Review comment text with source lines, then copy the clean list for migration notes, code review, or cleanup planning.
Example workflow
Copy a small payload or encoded value from an API response, request URL, log line, or config file. Run the focused check here, confirm the output is readable, then continue with related developer data tools such as validation, formatting, decoding, timestamp conversion, or CSV/JSON conversion.
Privacy note
CSS comment extraction runs locally in your browser. Your pasted CSS is not uploaded, rendered, fetched, crawled, executed, stored, or logged.
FAQ
Does Extract CSS Comments execute CSS?
No. It reads pasted CSS text only and extracts /* comment */ text. It does not render, execute, fetch, crawl, upload, store, or log snippets.
Can it find TODO notes in CSS?
Yes. CSS comments are returned as text rows, so TODO notes, migration notes, and override explanations are easy to copy and review.
When is this useful?
Use it while reviewing legacy stylesheet notes, preparing cleanup tickets, migrating themes, or documenting comments before minification.
