How to Use PHP Formatter
- 1Paste your PHP code
- 2Click Convert
- 3Copy the re-indented output — verify against PHP-CS-Fixer for anything beyond simple code

PHP-CS-Fixer or PHP_CodeSniffer — both use a real PHP parser and support configurable style standards (like PSR-12).
No — the indentation pass runs entirely in your browser.
