Clean extra spaces in text

Remove repeated spaces and tabs from pasted text. Preserve line breaks or join everything into one clean line; your text stays in this browser.

Paste text and choose how to handle line breaks.

How to use

  1. Paste or type text in the box.
  2. Keep line breaks or choose to join the text into one line.
  3. Run the cleaner, review the result, then copy or download it.

Example

With line breaks preserved, “ Hello there ” becomes “Hello there” on that line. Single-line mode also collapses whitespace between lines.

Behavior and privacy

  • In line mode, repeated spaces and tabs collapse to one space; leading and trailing spaces on each line are trimmed.
  • Single-line mode collapses whitespace characters, including line breaks, to one space and trims the ends.
  • The tool does not change punctuation or spelling. Up to one million characters can be processed locally.
  • Your text is not uploaded. Do not paste sensitive information into a shared or public device.

Processing and privacy

All processing happens in this browser. The input is not sent to the server.
