What is a Text Cleaner?
A text cleaner removes common formatting problems that accumulate when copying text from websites, PDFs, emails, and other sources — extra spaces, Windows-style line endings, stray tabs, and empty lines.
Available cleaning operations
- Trim each line — remove leading and trailing whitespace from every line.
- Collapse multiple spaces — replace two or more consecutive spaces with a single space.
- Replace tabs with spaces — convert tab characters to a single space, useful when copying from code editors or terminals.
- Remove empty lines — delete lines that contain only whitespace.
- Collapse multiple blank lines — reduce three or more consecutive blank lines to a single blank line.
- Normalize line endings — convert Windows
CRLFand old MacCRline endings to UnixLF.
How to use

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the text cleaner remove my punctuation or content?
No — the cleaner strictly targets whitespace, tabs, and line-ending formatting issues. Letters, numbers, emojis, and punctuation are completely untouched.
Can I combine multiple cleaning operations at once?
Yes. You can toggle any combination of options (trim lines, collapse spaces, normalize line endings, remove empty lines) to apply them simultaneously in a single pass.
What does line ending normalization do?
It converts Windows (CRLF) and legacy Mac (CR) line breaks into standard Unix (LF) newlines, preventing formatting bugs when copying across systems or code repositories.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. All text cleanup operations are processed entirely inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. Nothing is sent to external servers.
