The Remove Extra Spaces & Line Breaks tool cleans up messy text in one step. It can collapse runs of spaces and tabs into a single space, trim spaces from the ends of each line, remove blank lines, and even strip every line break to join everything into one paragraph.
It is perfect for tidying text copied from PDFs, emails, or web pages, where hidden double spaces and stray line breaks are common. Everything runs in your browser, so your text stays private.
How to remove extra spaces and line breaks
- Paste your messy text into the input box.
- Turn on the cleanups you want — collapse spaces, trim lines, remove blank lines, or remove all line breaks.
- The cleaned text and its character count update instantly.
- Copy the result.
What each option does
“Collapse extra spaces” turns any run of spaces or tabs into a single space, fixing double-spacing and stray tabs. “Trim each line” removes leading and trailing whitespace from every line. “Remove blank lines” drops empty lines (useful for tightening up spaced-out text). “Remove all line breaks” joins every line into a single paragraph separated by single spaces — handy when text copied from a PDF has a line break at the end of every visual line.
Common uses
Reach for this when pasting from a PDF or slide deck that adds line breaks mid-sentence, cleaning text from an email or chat, normalising data before importing it, or removing the ragged spacing left by copy-and-paste. Combine the options — for example collapse spaces plus remove all line breaks — to turn a wall of broken lines into one clean paragraph.
