Remove Empty Lines

What is this?

Remove Empty Lines cleans up the vertical spacing of your text by deleting blank lines or collapsing runs of blank lines into a single one.

How it works

Choose to remove every empty line or collapse consecutive blanks into one. Optionally treat lines that only contain spaces or tabs as empty so hidden whitespace is removed too.

Use cases

• Clean text copied from PDFs or emails.
• Compact code snippets or config files.
• Prepare lists for import without gaps.
• Fix double-spacing from word processors.

FAQ

What counts as an empty line?

A truly empty line, and — when the option is enabled — lines containing only spaces or tabs.

Will it merge my paragraphs?

Collapse mode keeps one blank line between paragraphs; only extra blanks are removed.
