Whitespace Remover
Remove extra spaces, tabs and empty lines.
Online extra space remover: clean and format your text instantly
Extra spaces in text can cause problems in multiple contexts: from errors when importing data into databases, to formatting issues when publishing content on websites or social media.
Our space cleaning tool offers five independent options that you can combine: trim start and end, remove double spaces, remove extra empty lines, convert tabs, and trim each line.
This tool is especially useful for programmers working with data files, content editors who need to clean texts before publishing, and anyone who wants to present their text in an orderly manner. Processing is done entirely in the browser.
Frequently asked questions
Are normal line breaks removed?
No. The remove empty lines option only reduces consecutive empty lines (three or more line breaks in a row are reduced to two). Normal paragraphs separated by a single line break are kept intact. If you need to remove all line breaks, you can use our word counter to verify first.
Can I use it to clean source code?
Yes, the tool is useful for cleaning code with inconsistent indentation. However, be careful with the tab conversion option if your code depends on them (such as Python or Makefile files). The trim each line option can affect code indentation, so use it with caution.
Are special characters preserved?
Yes, the tool only modifies whitespace (spaces, tabs, and line breaks). All special characters, accents, emojis, and any other character are kept exactly as they are in the original text.
