Add any messy content — copied from a PDF, exported from a spreadsheet, scraped from a webpage, or pasted from multiple sources.
Select which whitespace issues to fix: strip leading/trailing spaces, collapse multiple spaces to one, remove blank lines, or remove all tabs.
Get the tidy output and copy it to use wherever you need it.
The tool handles: leading and trailing spaces on each line, multiple consecutive spaces collapsed to a single space, tab characters replaced with a single space, blank lines between paragraphs (keep one or remove all), and non-breaking spaces ( characters often pasted from HTML content).
PDF text extraction often inserts extra spaces at line breaks, between columns, and around special characters because PDFs store text as positioned glyphs rather than flowing paragraphs. The extracted text retains artefacts from that positioning. This tool cleans up those artefacts so the content is usable without manual editing.
You choose. The “remove all blank lines” option strips every empty line — useful for dense data. The “collapse multiple blank lines to one” option keeps single blank lines as paragraph breaks but removes cases where two or more consecutive blank lines exist. The “keep blank lines as-is” option only cleans spaces, leaving line structure unchanged.

Extra whitespace is one of the most common problems with text copied from external sources — PDFs, spreadsheets, web pages, and document exports all introduce spacing artefacts that need cleaning before the content is usable. Multiple spaces between words, tabs where spaces should be, trailing spaces at the end of every line, and extra blank lines all cause problems in downstream systems — CMS imports, database inserts, code formatting, and document templates. This tool applies the full standard set of whitespace cleanup operations in one pass, with individual toggles so you can apply exactly the fixes you need.
