Remove Line Breaks
Paste any text to remove line breaks, strip extra blank lines and clean up messy spacing instantly.
How the text cleaner works
Copying text out of PDFs, emails, code editors and web pages often leaves behind awkward line breaks, double spaces and empty lines. This tool cleans up that mess so you can paste clean, readable text anywhere. Tick the options you need and the result updates as you type — everything runs in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
Replaces every line break (newline) with a single space, joining wrapped text back into a continuous paragraph. Useful for un-wrapping text copied from PDFs.
Keeps your paragraph breaks but collapses runs of two or more empty lines down to a single line break, tidying spacing without merging everything.
Collapse repeated spaces into one, strip leading and trailing whitespace from each line, or remove every space entirely for slugs and identifiers.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between removing line breaks and removing blank lines?
Removing all line breaks joins every line into one continuous block, replacing each newline with a space. Removing blank lines only deletes the empty rows between paragraphs while keeping the paragraph breaks themselves, so your structure stays intact.
Does it handle both Windows and Mac line endings?
Yes. Windows uses a carriage return plus newline (\r\n) and older Mac/Unix files use just \n or \r. The tool normalises all of these, so text copied from any operating system is cleaned correctly.
Will my text be sent to a server?
No. All cleaning runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is uploaded, stored or logged, so it is safe to paste sensitive or private text.
Can I combine multiple options at once?
Yes. Options are applied together in a sensible order — line breaks first, then spacing, then trimming. For example you can remove all line breaks and collapse extra spaces in a single pass to fully flatten a block of text.
What does "remove all spaces" do?
It deletes every space character in the text, producing a single unbroken string. This is handy for creating slugs, identifiers or testing, but it is destructive — use it only when you really want no spaces at all.
