Optimize CSS code online

CSS Superdouche

This tool can significantly reduce the size and complexity of your CSS by programmatically stripping unneeded content, stripping redundant calls, and intelligently grouping the remaining element names.

Just give the URL to your CSS file and choose some options. It removes the whitespaces but keeps the intends and also removes the comments. The resulting CSS would be 40-80% reduced in size compared to the original CSS.

Google Image Labeler

Google Image Labeler is a feature of Google Search will allow you to label images and help improve the quality of Google’s image search results, having fun at the same time.

You’ll receive more points for matches with more descriptive labels. For example, this image can be described by the labels: sky (50 points), bird (60 points), soaring (120 points), or frigate bird (150 points).


You’ll be randomly paired with a partner who’s online and using the feature. Over a two-minute period, you and your partner will:

  • View the same set of images.
  • Provide as many labels as possible to describe each image you see.
  • Receive points when your label matches your partner’s label. The number of points will depend on how specific your label is.
  • See more images until 2 minutes passes out.
