How to use Remove Extra Spaces

  1. Paste text with uneven spacing.
  2. Compare the original box with the cleaned result below it.
  3. Copy or download the cleaned text when it looks right.

A closer look

Repeated spaces and tabs become one ordinary space. Spaces at the start and end of each line are removed, and runs of more than one blank line become a single blank line. Ordinary line breaks and paragraph separation are kept. This is handy for text copied from documents, but it deliberately removes indentation, so it is not suitable for code or carefully aligned columns.

A practical example

Clean a pasted phrase such as one two into one two. Paragraph breaks remain, but repeated blank lines collapse to a single blank line.

A useful tip

Keep your original if spacing carries meaning, such as a poem, an indented list, or a table made with spaces.

Good questions. Simple answers.

Will it put my entire document on one line?

No. It keeps line breaks and one blank line between paragraph blocks.

Does it change spelling or punctuation?

No. It adjusts whitespace only; words and punctuation remain in their original order.
