What is the Whitespace Remover?#
The Whitespace Remover strips unwanted line breaks, spaces, and tabs from pasted text. Copy from a web page, a PDF, or a chat log, and the tool turns it into something you can paste straight into a form or document.
Checkboxes pick which characters to remove, and the result updates as you type. Line breaks get three options: delete them, replace each with a space, or leave them alone.
How to Use#
- Paste the text you want to clean up into the input box.
- Choose what to remove.
- Copy the result and use it where you need it.
What You Can Remove#
- Line breaks: deleting them joins every line into one. Merge with space puts a single space between lines instead.
- Spaces: removes regular spaces, including indentation.
- Tabs: tab characters from pasted tables or indented text are removed too.
- Full-width spaces: the wide spaces used in Japanese text disappear.
- Invisible characters: strips non-breaking spaces, zero-width spaces, and similar characters that are hard to see.
Common Use Cases#
- Unwrapping text copied from a PDF or web page into a single paragraph.
- Turning chat logs or email lists into one line per item for use elsewhere.
- Stripping indentation and stray spaces before pasting into a form.
- Removing tabs that sneak in when you copy from a spreadsheet or code editor.
FAQ#
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
Switch the line break setting to merge with space. Each line then gets a single space between it and the next, which is what you want for wrapped text.
No. Each line break is handled individually. Delete removes them all; merge with space puts one space in place of each.
Spaces inserted when merging lines are not treated as removable. They stay even with the Spaces box checked.
Notes#
- Full-width spaces and invisible characters are off by default. Check them when you need them.
- There is no trim mode that removes only leading and trailing whitespace. Checked characters are always removed wherever they appear.
