Remove extra spaces from text
Double spaces, tabs, trailing whitespace and stray blank lines, all fixed in one pass.
Trim and collapse are preselected: leading and trailing spaces are removed from every line and runs of spaces or tabs become a single space. Add "remove empty lines" to drop blank lines, or "remove duplicate lines" for lists.
How to remove extra spaces from text
- Paste the text. Anything with messy spacing.
- Adjust the switches. Trim and collapse are on.
- Copy. The summary shows how many lines changed.

Questions people ask
Does it touch non-breaking spaces?
Yes. Non-breaking and other special spaces are treated as spaces and collapsed. Use the invisible character remover for a full report of hidden characters.
