About This Tool


Text copied from various sources often comes with irregular spacing—double spaces, extra line breaks, tabs mixed with spaces, and other formatting issues. Our whitespace cleaner fixes these problems instantly.

The tool removes multiple consecutive spaces, replacing them with single spaces. Double or triple line breaks are normalized to proper paragraph spacing. Tabs can be converted to spaces or removed entirely.

Leading and trailing whitespace on each line is trimmed, cleaning up those invisible characters that can cause alignment issues. This is especially useful for code and data processing.

For paragraph preservation, the tool intelligently keeps single blank lines between paragraphs while removing excessive breaks. This maintains your document structure while cleaning up the noise.

FAQ

Will it remove all line breaks?

Yes, tabs can be converted to spaces or removed. You can choose based on your needs.
What about non-breaking spaces?
Non-breaking spaces (nbsp) can be converted to regular spaces for consistent formatting.
Will it affect code indentation?
The tool preserves intentional indentation. Use with caution on code; consider a code-specific formatter instead.
