Whitespace Remover
Paste text above to clean its whitespace.
Whitespace Remover cleans messy spacing in any text. Trim leading and trailing spaces from each line, collapse runs of spaces into one, remove blank lines, or strip out every space. Pick the options you want, paste your text, and copy the cleaned result. Everything runs in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
How to use

Examples
- Trim and collapse: " hello world " becomes "hello world".
- Remove blank lines: "line one", an empty line, then "line two" becomes two lines with no gap.
- Remove all spaces: "a b c d" becomes "abcd".
FAQs
- What counts as a blank line?
- Any line that is empty or contains only spaces and tabs. When you enable Remove blank lines, those lines are dropped entirely.
- What is the difference between collapse spaces and remove all spaces?
- Collapse turns a run of two or more spaces into a single space and keeps words separated. Remove all spaces deletes every space and tab, joining everything together. Remove all spaces takes precedence when both are on.
- Does this remove line breaks too?
- No. This tool keeps your line structure (it normalises Windows line endings to standard newlines) and only acts on spaces, tabs, and blank lines. To merge lines, use a dedicated line break tool.
- Is my text sent to a server?
- No. All cleaning happens locally in your browser, so nothing is uploaded or stored.
- Does it handle tabs?
- Yes. Tabs are treated as whitespace, so they are collapsed, trimmed, or removed along with spaces depending on the options you pick.
