Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does this tool remove?
Runs of multiple spaces or tabs become a single space, and spaces are stripped from the start and end of every line. Line breaks are kept – use Remove Line Breaks if you want those gone too.
Why does text copied from a PDF have weird spacing?
PDF text often contains double spaces, tabs and non-breaking spaces when copied out. Pasting it here cleans all of them up in one click.
Is my text safe when I use this tool?
Yes. The cleanup runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Your text is never sent to a server, never stored and never logged.
