Morphology

beautifier = beautify (transparent) = beauty + ify + er

The program/tool sense is a straightforward extension of 'beautify' + '-er' (a tool that beautifies).

Etymology

Beautifier comes from beauty and the verb ending -ify ('make') plus -er ('one who' or 'thing that does'), similar to the word beautify. So a program or tool that 'makes something look nicer or easier to read' is called a beautifier.
