Cleanup
Remove Extra Spaces
Clean spacing from a paste. Each line is trimmed, runs of spaces and tabs become one space, and three or more line breaks become a single blank line. Words and punctuation stay as they are.
This draft stays in the tab. Opening a file reads it here and does not upload it.
Cleaned spacing
0 characters removed.
How to use it
- Paste the messy text, or open it as a file. The file is not uploaded.
- Check the cleaned copy and the number of characters removed.
- Copy the cleaned copy, or clear the editor and start over.
Example
Spaces pile up after a PDF paste. The next paragraph should sit one blank line below.
The cleaned copy keeps one space between words and one blank line between paragraphs.
Questions
Will this join hyphenated line breaks from a PDF?
No. It does not remove hyphens or join words that were split across lines. It only changes whitespace.
Are non-breaking spaces removed?
This tool collapses ordinary spaces and tabs. Use Text Cleaner when the paste also contains non-breaking spaces or zero-width characters.
Can I undo?
The original remains in the editor until you clear it or reload the page. Copy the cleaned result if you want to keep it.
