Remove Extra Spaces

Squash runs of double or triple spaces down to one and trim the ends of every line — the fix for text that got mangled on the way in.

Cleaned up
This sentence has way too many spaces.

How it works

Every run of spaces or tabs inside a line gets collapsed to a single space, and leading or trailing whitespace on each line is trimmed off. Your line breaks stay put, so paragraphs and lists keep their shape.

This is the usual cleanup after copying from a PDF, a spreadsheet cell, or a chat log, where alignment padding sneaks in as extra spaces you can't easily see.

It runs live as you type and stays in your browser, so pasting a private draft won't send it anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Does it remove line breaks too?

No — it keeps your lines intact and only fixes spaces and tabs within and around them. If you also want everything on one line, reach for the Remove Line Breaks tool.

Will it turn tabs into spaces?

Tabs inside a line get folded into the single-space collapse along with regular spaces, so a mix of tabs and spaces comes out as one clean space between words.

Is anything saved between visits?

No. The tool holds text only while the page is open and runs entirely in your browser, so nothing is stored or uploaded.
