Remove extra spaces, tabs, and double spaces from text.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Exported data often contains padded spaces around values. Cleaning whitespace is a common first step before importing data into another system.
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.
Paste the text and click Remove Extra Whitespace. Every run of two or more spaces collapses to a single space, and tab characters are converted as well. This fixes the classic double-space-after-a-period habit and the uneven spacing that appears when text is pasted from PDFs, emails, or spreadsheets.
Text copied from web pages carries invisible formatting: indentation spaces from the HTML source, non-breaking spaces, and tabs used for visual alignment. Word processors add alignment tabs and doubled spaces too. None of it is obvious until you paste into a plain-text field. Running the remover normalises everything to single spaces.
No. Paragraph breaks — the blank lines between blocks of text — are preserved, and leading and trailing spaces on each line are trimmed. Only spaces and tabs within lines are collapsed. If you also want the line breaks themselves removed, use the separate Remove Line Breaks tool afterwards.
