What is this?

Remove Extra Spaces normalizes the spacing in your text by collapsing repeated spaces, trimming line edges and optionally converting tabs.

How it works

The tool processes each line and applies the options you enable: collapsing runs of spaces into one, trimming leading and trailing whitespace, and turning tabs into single spaces.

Use cases

Fix text pasted from PDFs or spreadsheets.
Normalize spacing before publishing content.
Clean user-generated input for storage.
Prepare data for consistent formatting.

FAQ

Does it remove line breaks?: No. It only affects spaces and tabs within lines. Use Remove Empty Lines to manage line breaks.
Will single spaces between words stay?: Yes. Only runs of two or more spaces are collapsed; normal single spacing is preserved.
