How to use Remove extra spaces

Tidy text copied from a document or web page by collapsing runs of spaces and tabs to one space. Each line is trimmed, while internal line breaks are retained. This is useful for ordinary prose, but it can change alignment in code, tables, and other text where spacing has a purpose.

01

Paste the untidy text

Add text with repeated spaces, tabs, or padded lines.

02

Clean the spacing

Run the tool to collapse spaces and tabs and trim each line.

03

Check paragraph breaks

Review the output, then copy or save the cleaned text.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Remove extra spaces: useful answers

Will the tool remove my paragraph breaks?

Internal line breaks are kept. Leading and trailing whitespace is trimmed from the overall result.

Is it suitable for code indentation?

Usually not. It collapses tabs and repeated spaces, which can change indentation or the layout of aligned data.
