Clean up messy text — collapse repeated spaces, convert tabs, strip line breaks without gluing words together, and remove empty lines, all with live toggles.

Paste your text into the input box
Toggle the options you need — collapse spaces, tabs to spaces, remove line breaks, remove empty lines, trim line edges
The cleaned result updates live in the output box, with a before/after character count

Frequently asked questions

Does this convert tabs too?

Yes — turn on "Convert tabs to spaces" and every tab character becomes a single space.

If I remove line breaks, will words run together?

No. Removing line breaks leaves a single space where the break was, so words never get glued together — a real complaint we found about a competing tool.

Will this remove paragraph breaks I want to keep?

Only if you turn on "Remove empty lines" — that's a separate toggle, so your paragraph spacing stays intact unless you choose to strip it.

Removing line breaks online usually leaves the spaces behind. We made sure ours doesn't.

A popular text-cleanup site splits spaces, tabs, line breaks, and empty lines into four separate pages, and a widely-used line-break remover leaves orphaned spaces where the breaks used to be. Ours does all four in one page and never glues words together.
