What is the Extra Space Remover?

Text copied from PDFs, emails and websites often comes with double spaces, tabs, stray line breaks and blank lines. This tool cleans all of that in one go, and can join everything into a single line.

How it works

How to use the Extra Space Remover

3 simple steps. No experience needed.

What can you use it for?

  • Fix text copied from a PDF that breaks in odd places.
  • Tidy up pasted text before publishing it.
  • Turn a multi-line list into one line.

What each option cleans

“Collapse repeated spaces” turns runs of spaces into one. “Trim each line” removes spaces at the start and end of lines. “Remove blank lines” deletes empty lines, “Turn tabs into spaces” replaces tab characters, and “Join into one line” removes line breaks entirely.

Fixing text copied from PDFs

PDFs store text as positioned lines, so copying often adds a line break at the end of every visual line. Join everything into one line first, then add paragraph breaks back where they belong.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will it remove single spaces between words?

No. It only collapses runs of two or more spaces into one.

Can it fix line breaks from PDFs?

Yes — turn on “Join into one line” to remove the breaks, then split paragraphs where you need them.

Does it change anything besides spaces?

No. Letters, punctuation and numbers are left exactly as they are — only spaces, tabs and line breaks are affected.
