About the Remove Extra Spaces

Text copied from PDFs, emails and websites often arrives with double spaces, broken lines and gaps. Paste it here to tidy it up before using it in a document, form or post.

Turn on Join all lines into one paragraph to fix text that was broken into short lines when copied from a PDF.

How to use the Remove Extra Spaces

  1. Paste your text.
  2. Choose what to clean: multiple spaces, spaces at line ends, tabs, empty lines, or joining lines.
  3. Copy the cleaned text. The counter shows how many characters were removed.

How it works

Tabs become spaces, any run of two or more spaces becomes one, each line is trimmed, and empty lines are removed (or reduced to one blank line between paragraphs when that option is off). Joining puts all non-empty lines together, separated by single spaces.

Examples

  • Hello␣␣␣␣world␣␣ → Hello world.
  • Ten short lines copied from a PDF → one clean paragraph.
