Whitespace & Line Break Cleaner
Remove extra spaces, tabs, and blank lines left over from pasting text from PDFs or emails.
About this tool
Text copied from PDFs, emails, or old documents often comes with extra spaces, stray tabs, and inconsistent blank lines. This tool cleans that up in one pass so the text is ready to paste somewhere else without formatting artifacts.
How to use it
- Paste your messy text into the box.
- Click clean to strip extra spaces, tabs, and blank lines.
- Copy the cleaned result.
Tips
- This collapses multiple spaces into one and trims leading/trailing whitespace from each line.
- Consecutive blank lines are reduced, which is useful for text pasted from PDF exports that add extra line breaks.
- Run this before using the Duplicate Line Remover or Line Sorter for more reliable results on messy source text.
FAQ
Will this remove intentional formatting, like poem line breaks?
