Remove Extra Spaces
Clean up messy text by collapsing extra spaces and blank lines.
What does this tool do?
Remove Extra Spaces cleans up text that has been copied from a PDF, a chat app or an old document, where double spaces, stray tabs and extra blank lines tend to pile up. It collapses repeated spaces into a single space, trims leading and trailing whitespace from each line, and optionally squashes multiple blank lines down to one — or removes them entirely.
How to use it
- Paste your text into the input box.
- Choose which cleanup options you want using the checkboxes.
- Click Clean Text and copy the result with one click.
This is a common pre-processing step before pasting text into a CMS, an email, or a spreadsheet cell, since extra whitespace can break formatting or make plain-text comparisons fail. It is also useful for cleaning up code snippets, CSV-like data, or text extracted from a scanned document where OCR software often inserts irregular spacing. The tool only touches spaces, tabs and blank lines — it never changes the wording, capitalization or punctuation of your text, so the meaning stays exactly the same while the formatting becomes consistent and easy to reuse anywhere.
