Whitespace Remover
Clean up messy text with toggleable whitespace operations: trim leading and trailing spaces on each line, collapse runs of spaces and tabs into one, remove blank lines, and strip all spaces entirely. Combine any of them and see exactly how many characters were removed.
Examples
hello world
hello world
How it works
Paste your text and switch on the cleanups you need. The options are applied in a fixed order: trim each line, collapse repeated spaces, remove all spaces, then drop blank lines. The summary shows how many characters were removed.
| Option | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Trim each line | Two spaces, “hello”, two spaces | “hello” |
| Collapse multiple spaces | “a”, four spaces, “b” | “a b” |
| Remove blank lines | Three lines with an empty one in the middle | Two lines |
| Remove all spaces | “a b c” | “abc” |
Line breaks are always kept, so the rows of a CSV or the items of a list stay separate. Non-breaking spaces are removed from the ends of a line by Trim each line and everywhere by Remove all spaces. Zero-width characters, which some web pages insert invisibly, are not treated as whitespace and are left in place.

Why use this tool
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The options are applied in sequence, so you can trim, collapse, and remove blank lines all in a single pass.
It strips spaces and tabs within each line; line breaks are preserved unless you also enable remove blank lines.
Turn on Collapse multiple spaces. Every run of spaces or tabs becomes a single space, and line breaks are left alone.
PDFs and web pages lay text out with tabs, repeated spaces and hard line breaks that are invisible until you paste. Trimming each line and collapsing spaces clears most of it.
