}Example shown — replace it with your own code to strip.
How it works
- Paste code containing comments.
- Line and block comments are detected and removed.
- Copy the cleaned result.
Stripping tokenizes the source, distinguishing string literals from
real comment syntax, then removes every recognized
//, /* */, or # comment while
leaving the rest of the code untouched.
FAQ
Is my code uploaded anywhere?
No. Stripping happens entirely in your browser — your code is never sent to a server.
Which languages are supported?
C-style languages (JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C/C++, CSS) using // and /* */ comments, plus Python and shell-style # comments.
Does it strip comments inside strings?
No — the stripper recognizes string literals and leaves comment-like text inside quotes untouched, so it won't corrupt a URL or string containing //.
Does it change indentation or formatting?
No — only comment text is removed. Everything else, including whitespace, stays exactly as you pasted it.

A minifier strips comments but also collapses formatting. Code Comment Stripper removes only the comments, keeping the code readable.
