Remove double spaces, tabs, and excess line breaks
Remove Spaces & Clean Text is an offline text processor designed to remove double spaces, tabs, and excess line breaks. Analyze word frequencies, highlight character differentials, or edit markdown documents instantly.
Choose Collapse Double Spaces and paste your text. Every run of spaces or tabs is replaced with a single space, so 'too many spaces' becomes 'too many spaces'. Line breaks are left in place, and you can copy the cleaned text with one click.
Select Remove Line Breaks. Every line break is replaced with a space and any repeated whitespace is collapsed, giving you one continuous paragraph. This is handy for text copied from a PDF or email where each line ends with a hard return.
Collapse keeps one space between words, so the text stays readable. Strip All Spaces removes every whitespace character, including spaces, tabs and line breaks, so words run together like 'helloworld'. Use Strip All for codes and numbers, and Collapse for normal prose.
Use Trim Lines. It removes leading and trailing spaces and tabs from every line while keeping the line breaks and the spaces between words. It is useful for cleaning indented text, copied lists and CSV-style data.
Remove Line Breaks joins everything into one line, which also removes the blank lines. If you want to keep separate lines but drop empty ones, the Sort & Dedupe Lines tool has a Remove empty lines switch that does exactly that.
The Strip All Spaces and Remove Line Breaks options use whitespace matching, which normally covers non-breaking spaces as well as regular ones. The Collapse and Trim Lines options are more limited. Zero-width and other invisible characters may remain, so check the output if the source is web text.
