About
About Extra Space / Whitespace Remover
A whitespace remover cleans up text that's been pasted from a PDF, a spreadsheet, or another document and picked up extra spaces, tabs, or blank lines along the way. Paste your text in and the tool strips the mess out, leaving clean, evenly spaced content.
Text copied from other sources often carries invisible formatting you don't notice until you paste it somewhere else and the spacing looks broken, with double spaces between words or random blank lines scattered through a paragraph. This tool fixes that automatically, so you're not hunting through the text manually to remove extra spaces one at a time.
It handles several kinds of whitespace at once: collapsing multiple spaces into one, trimming leading and trailing spaces from each line, and removing extra blank lines between paragraphs. You choose which of these to apply, depending on how clean you need the result.
Writers use it before pasting into a CMS, developers use it to clean up pasted code snippets or config values, and anyone prepping text for a form field uses it to avoid validation errors caused by stray spaces.
Paste, clean, and copy the result.
