How the whitespace remover works

Pick the options you want and the cleaned text updates instantly — no button to press.

1

Paste your text

Drop in text copied from a PDF, spreadsheet, code editor or web page.

2

Choose what to clean

Trim lines, collapse spaces, remove empty lines or swap tabs and spaces.

3

Copy or download

Grab the tidy result with Copy, or save it straight to a .txt file.

What each option does

Trim each line removes spaces and tabs from the start and end of every line — handy when text was indented or padded. Collapse spaces squeezes any run of spaces or tabs down to a single space, fixing the double- and triple-spacing you often get from copied PDFs.

Remove all spaces strips every space and tab entirely (useful for codes or IDs) and takes priority over collapsing. Remove empty lines deletes blank lines and lines that contain only whitespace, closing up the gaps in pasted content.

Tabs & spaces converts leading tab indentation into a chosen number of spaces, or the reverse — useful when a file mixes both. Everything runs in the order shown, so the result reflects each option layered on top of the last.

🔒

Private by design. Your text never leaves your device. All cleaning happens right here in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of whitespace can it clean up?
It can trim spaces from the start and end of each line, collapse runs of spaces or tabs into one, remove every space, drop empty lines, and convert between tab and space indentation.
What's the difference between trim, collapse and remove all?
Trim each line removes only leading and trailing spaces, Collapse spaces squeezes multiple spaces down to one, and Remove all spaces strips every space and tab entirely (it takes priority over collapsing).
Can it delete blank lines?
Yes. Turn on Remove empty lines to drop blank and whitespace-only lines and close up the gaps in pasted content.
Can it fix mixed tabs and spaces?
