About Remove Extra Spaces
The Remove Extra Spaces tool collapses multiple consecutive spaces and tabs into a single space, and trims leading/trailing whitespace from each line. Line breaks are preserved so your paragraph structure stays intact.
Perfect for cleaning up text copied from PDFs, emails, spreadsheets, or poorly formatted documents. Writers, editors, and data entry professionals use it to normalize whitespace before publishing, importing into databases, or pasting into CMS platforms.
All processing happens locally in your browser. No text is transmitted to any server — safe for cleaning confidential documents, legal text, and proprietary content.
