About this tool
Runs of spaces and tabs become a single space. Three or more consecutive line breaks are reduced to two, which keeps one blank line between paragraphs. Leading and trailing whitespace on the whole text is removed. Spaces at the start or end of individual lines are reduced to one rather than removed; use Trim Text for that.
How to use it
- Paste the messy text.
- Copy the cleaned output.
runs of spaces → one space
Examples
Double spaces
"Hello world" becomes "Hello world".
Tabs
"Name\t\tEmail" becomes "Name Email".
FAQ
Will it join my paragraphs?
No. Paragraphs separated by a blank line stay separate; only runs of three or more line breaks are shortened.
Does it remove non-breaking spaces?
No. Only regular spaces and tabs are collapsed. Text Cleaner handles more special characters.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Processing happens in your browser.
