How it works

1

Paste the messy text

Drop in a paragraph copied from a document, chat, or PDF. Character, line, and word counts sit above the box.

2

Pick the cleanups

Collapse repeated spaces, trim trailing spaces on each line, squeeze extra blank lines, convert tabs, and strip invisible characters such as non-breaking spaces.

3

Copy the result

The cleaned text updates as you type. Copy it when the counts look right. Reset options restores the default ticks.

What is a whitespace cleaner?

A whitespace cleaner normalises spaces, tabs, and blank lines in plain text. It helps after copying from PDFs, slides, or chat, where extra gaps and hidden characters sneak in. This page runs the cleanup locally so drafts never leave the browser.

Questions

What does Whitespace Cleaner do?

It tidies pasted text: extra spaces, trailing spaces, extra blank lines, tabs, and invisible characters such as non-breaking spaces from Word.

How do I use Whitespace Cleaner?

Paste text in the input box. Leave the cleanups you need ticked. Copy the cleaned output on the right of the result label.

Will it join my paragraphs?

No. Spaces are collapsed inside each line. Newlines stay. Squeeze blank lines only turns three or more empty lines into a single blank line.

Does Trim line ends remove indentation?

It only removes spaces at the end of each line. Leading indent stays unless you also collapse spaces, which reduces a run of spaces to one.

What are invisible characters?

Non-breaking spaces, zero-width spaces, and similar Unicode that looks like a normal space but breaks search or code. They are turned into regular spaces, then the other cleanups can collapse them.

When to use Whitespace Cleaner

People reach for Whitespace Cleaner when a quick job should not require installing desktop software or creating an account. Collapse extra spaces, trim line ends, squeeze blank lines, and turn tabs into spaces. Writers, students, and support teams paste drafts here to measure, reshape, or clean text without opening a heavy office app. Compared with installing a desktop suite only for whitespace cleaner, a dedicated page keeps the interface small and the intent obvious. Quota cookies may still track anonymous daily free-plan uses. That is different from receiving your file bytes or pasted text. This page has no daily free-plan cap, so you can run it as often as you need. If a free-plan limit applies, the workspace shows remaining uses before you commit a download, so you are not surprised after a long wait.
