Whitespace Remover
Remove extra spaces, tabs, and double spaces from text.
How to Use the Whitespace Remover
Paste your text into the input box and click Remove Extra Whitespace. Extra spaces and tabs are collapsed and the cleaned text appears in the output box.
What This Tool Does
Collapses multiple consecutive spaces and tabs into a single space. Leading and trailing whitespace on each line is trimmed. Paragraph breaks (double line breaks) are preserved so your text structure stays intact.
Common Causes of Extra Whitespace
Copy-Pasting from Web Pages
HTML documents often contain extra spaces from indentation, non-breaking spaces ( ), and other formatting that isn't visible on screen but appears in pasted text.
Word Processor Formatting
Tab characters and multiple spaces used for visual alignment in Microsoft Word or Google Docs can appear as excessive whitespace when the text is pasted elsewhere.
CSV and Data Files
Exported data often contains padded spaces around values. Cleaning whitespace is a common first step before importing data into another system.
Need to Remove Line Breaks Too?
If your text also has unwanted line breaks, use the Remove Line Breaks tool first, then run this tool to clean up any remaining extra spaces.
