How to use the Whitespace Cleaner
Paste your text in the left panel and choose which types of whitespace to remove using the options above. The cleaned result appears instantly in the right panel. Click "Copy result" to copy the clean text to your clipboard.
You can combine multiple options — for example, removing double spaces and blank lines at the same time. The stats below each panel show word and character counts so you can see exactly what was removed.
When is this tool useful?
Extra whitespace is common when copying text from PDFs, Word documents, emails, or websites. It can cause problems in code, databases, or CMS systems. This tool is useful for cleaning up pasted content before publishing, preparing text for data entry, or normalizing input for scripts and automation.

The "Line breaks" option removes all newline characters and joins everything into a single continuous paragraph. This is useful when text has been broken into short lines (for example, from a PDF or old email) and you want it as a single block.
