Terraform Formatter
Paste Terraform code to apply terraform fmt-style layout: two-space indentation, aligned = signs, aligned trailing comments, consistent spacing and a single trailing newline. Heredocs and block comments are left untouched. A few rare spacing cases may differ from the real tool, so keep terraform fmt -check in CI as the final authority.

Heredocs and block comments are never touched.

Frequently asked questions
Is the output identical to terraform fmt?
It follows the same layout rules, but it is not verified byte-for-byte against the real binary and a few rare spacing cases may differ. Keep terraform fmt -check in CI as the final authority.
What does it leave alone?
Heredoc bodies, block comments and string contents are never changed, and the formatter reports unbalanced brackets or an unclosed block comment instead of guessing.
Are my data stored when I use the Terraform Formatter?
The text you submit is processed in memory to produce the result and is not saved. Like any web server, Code Converter logs basic visit data (page, IP address and browser) but never the content you paste.
Is the Terraform Formatter free, and can I call it from a script?
It is free and needs no account or signup. The same tool is available as a REST endpoint at POST /api/terraform-format; see the API documentation for the fields and examples.
