Every Way to Clean Up Whitespace
"Whitespace" covers every invisible character in your text: spaces, tabs, and the line breaks between lines. When you copy text out of a PDF, a spreadsheet, an email, or code, that whitespace often comes along in messy, inconsistent amounts. This tool gives you a separate switch for each kind of clean-up so you can fix exactly what's wrong without touching the rest.
What Each Option Does
- Trim each line — removes spaces and tabs from the start and end of every line, while keeping the lines themselves.
- Collapse multiple spaces — turns any run of two or more spaces/tabs into a single space, fixing "double-spaced" text.
- Remove blank lines — deletes empty lines so paragraphs sit directly under one another.
- Tabs → spaces — replaces tab characters with spaces for consistent indentation.
- Remove all line breaks — joins everything into a single continuous line (handy for pasting into a single cell or field).
- Remove ALL whitespace — strips every space, tab and line break, leaving the characters packed together.
- Trim start & end — removes leading and trailing whitespace from the whole text block.
Common Use Cases
Pasting from a PDF and getting random double spaces? Turn on Collapse multiple spaces. Cleaning a list copied from a website with empty rows between items? Use Remove blank lines. Need a paragraph as one line for a CSV cell or a URL parameter? Switch on Remove all line breaks. The character counter under the output shows exactly how much was removed.
