Collapse double spaces, strip blank lines and line breaks. Your text never leaves your browser.

What each option does

Option	Example

Trim each line	`hello` → `hello`
Remove blank lines	Deletes empty lines between paragraphs
Join lines into one paragraph	Turns every line break into a single space
Remove all spaces	`1234 5678` → `12345678` (line breaks are kept)

When this helps

Fixing broken lines after copying from a PDF or e-book
Removing the double spaces after full stops that some writers still type
Preparing a list for a spreadsheet, where stray spaces break lookups and duplicates checks
Stripping spaces from card, phone or reference numbers before pasting them into a form

Frequently asked questions

Why does text copied from a PDF break at every line?

PDFs store a hard line break at the end of every visual line. Turn on "Join lines into one paragraph" to stitch those lines back together with single spaces.

Does it handle tabs and non-breaking spaces?

Yes. Tabs, non-breaking spaces (NBSP) and full-width spaces are treated as whitespace, so they are collapsed or removed along with ordinary spaces.

Will this change my word count?

Word count stays the same unless you remove all spaces. The character count usually drops, and the tool shows the before and after numbers under the result.
