Remove Line Breaks
This tool cleans up text by removing or replacing line breaks and controlling whitespace. Whether you are pasting content from a PDF, an email, or a document, unwanted line breaks often fragment sentences and make the text hard to reuse. With a single paste you can strip those breaks, merge lines into a continuous paragraph, and optionally collapse multiple spaces down to one.
Four independent options let you combine operations freely: replace every newline with a space, drop empty lines entirely, collapse runs of two or more spaces into one, and trim leading or trailing whitespace from each individual line. The cleaned result updates instantly and can be copied to the clipboard in one click.
How it works
Processing is applied in order: (1) trim each line's leading/trailing whitespace, (2) filter out lines that are empty after trimming, (3) join remaining lines with a space instead of a newline, (4) replace any sequence of two or more spaces with a single space. Each step is toggled independently.
Use cases
- Converting PDF-copied text with hard line breaks into a single readable paragraph
- Cleaning up email threads or chat exports that have excessive blank lines
- Preparing plain-text content for social media posts or CMS paste fields
- Normalising API or database strings that contain stray newline characters
- Stripping formatting before running text through a word-count or NLP tool
