Remove Spaces

What is Remove Spaces?

Paste text with inconsistent spacing and clean it up instantly. Collapse repeated spaces down to one, trim the edges of each line, or strip all whitespace entirely, whichever you need. Handy for cleaning up text copied from a PDF or a formatted document, where extra spaces and inconsistent line breaks often come along for the ride. Everything happens live as you type, entirely in your browser.

How to Use Remove Spaces

1. 1

   Paste the Text: Enter text with inconsistent spacing, such as a PDF export.

2. 2

   Choose a Mode: Pick collapse extra spaces, trim line edges only, or remove all whitespace.

3. 3

   Copy the Result: Use the copy button to copy the cleaned-up text.

How It Works

Pick a mode and the transform runs live as you type. "Collapse extra spaces" replaces any run of two or more spaces with a single space and trims each line's leading/trailing whitespace. "Trim line edges only" leaves internal spacing untouched and only cleans the start/end of each line. "Remove all whitespace" strips every space, tab, and line break, joining everything into one continuous string.

Example

Input: "  hello   world  "

Collapse extra spaces → "hello world"
Remove all whitespace → "helloworld"

Common Use Cases

Cleaning up text copied from a PDF or a formatted document (which often carries extra spaces and odd line breaks along with it), normalizing pasted data before importing it into a spreadsheet, or preparing a string for an exact-match comparison where stray whitespace would break it.
