What this tool does
Use this tool to remove extra spaces from pasted text in one pass. It collapses runs of repeated spaces and tabs into single spaces, trims the start and end of each line, and can optionally drop blank lines. The result is tidy text that is ready to paste into a document, email or content editor. Nothing else about the text is touched.
When spacing goes wrong
Text copied from PDFs, web pages and emails often arrives with double spaces after periods, uneven gaps from tab characters, and stray blank lines. Fixing that by hand is slow and easy to miss. Running the text through this cleanup handles the spacing in one step while leaving your actual words and punctuation untouched.
Good to know
Only whitespace changes. The tool never alters words, punctuation or the order of your lines, and it does nothing beyond spacing: it will not fix spelling or rewrite sentences. If you also need invisible characters removed, the separate Text Cleaner on this site covers that broader cleanup.
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove extra spaces from text?
Paste the messy text, tick Remove blank lines if you want them gone, then click Run. Copy the tidy result and paste it where you need it.
Will it change my words or punctuation?
No. Only spaces, tabs and line edges are changed. Your wording, punctuation and line order stay exactly as you pasted them in the original text.
Is my text kept on my device?
Yes. The cleanup runs in your browser, so the text you paste is not uploaded to a server or stored anywhere by the tool at all.
