How it works

Common use cases
Text copied from a PDF
PDF copy-paste often leaves doubled spaces and stray tabs — clean it in one pass.

Normalize messy user-submitted text before storing or displaying it.
Prepping text for search
Collapse whitespace so exact-match searches aren’t thrown off by formatting.
Frequently asked questions
Does this remove tabs too?
Yes. Tabs, multiple spaces, and line breaks are all collapsed down to a single space.
Will it join my paragraphs into one line?
Yes — because line breaks count as whitespace, the whole result becomes a single line. Use Remove Line Breaks if you want to keep paragraph spacing but only fix newlines.
Does it trim the start and end?
Yes, any leading or trailing whitespace is removed from the result.
Is my text stored?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser.
