Collapse every run of whitespace

Every run of spaces, tabs and line breaks becomes one space, and the ends are trimmed. The blunt version, for when you want a single clean line out of something ragged.

Every run of spaces, tabs and line breaks becomes one space, and the ends are trimmed. To keep your paragraphs, use the text cleaner instead — it collapses spaces without flattening the text into a single line.

How it works

01

All whitespace, not just spaces

Tabs, newlines and the exotic Unicode spaces are all whitespace and are all collapsed. Handling only the ordinary space character leaves text that still looks broken for reasons you cannot see.

02

This one does flatten your paragraphs

Line breaks are whitespace, so they collapse too and you get a single line out. That is deliberate — it is what you want when tidying a value for a spreadsheet cell or a form field. When you want the paragraphs kept, the text cleaner collapses spaces without touching line structure.

What it does

One step, no options

There is exactly one thing to do here and no configuration to get wrong.

How much came out

The number of characters removed and the resulting length, so you can see it worked.

Practical advice

Getting a better result

  • If your paragraphs matter, use the text cleaner instead. This tool is deliberately blunt.
  • Double spaces after full stops are a typewriter convention. Modern typesetting uses one, and this removes the second everywhere.
  • Text pasted from a PDF often has both invisible characters and stray spacing — the text cleaner handles both, this handles only spacing.

Questions

Things people ask

Does it remove line breaks?

Yes. Line breaks are whitespace and are collapsed along with everything else, so the result is a single line. Use the text cleaner if you want repeated spaces removed while your paragraphs stay intact.

Does it handle tabs?

Yes, along with the less common Unicode space characters that arrive from word processors and look identical to an ordinary space.
