Remove Extra Spaces
Paste text to clean up its whitespace — collapse repeated spaces into one, trim the start and end of each line, and remove blank lines. The result updates live in your browser.
How to remove extra spaces
- Paste your text into the box.
- Choose what to clean: collapse double spaces, trim each line, and/or remove blank lines.
- Copy the cleaned result.
About cleaning whitespace
Text pasted from the web, PDFs or spreadsheets is often littered with double spaces, trailing spaces and empty lines. They’re invisible but cause misaligned layouts, broken parsing and inconsistent formatting. Cleaning whitespace normalises the text in one step.
Collapsing reduces any run of spaces or tabs to a single space; trimming removes leading and trailing whitespace from every line; and blank-line removal drops empty lines entirely. Each is optional, and it all runs in your browser.
Frequently asked questions
Does it remove tabs as well as spaces?
Yes. Collapsing whitespace reduces runs of spaces and tabs alike to a single space, so mixed indentation is normalised.
Can it remove blank lines?
Yes — turn on blank-line removal and any line that is empty or contains only whitespace is dropped from the result.
Will it keep single spaces between words?
Yes. Only repeated spaces are collapsed; the normal single space between words is preserved.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Cleaning happens entirely in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
