Whitespace Remover: Clean Up Extra Spaces and Blank Lines

Extra whitespace creeps into text from copy-pasting, auto-formatting, and editing. Multiple spaces between words, trailing spaces at line ends, blank lines, and tab characters all add clutter. Our whitespace remover gives you granular control over exactly which whitespace to clean up.

Whitespace Cleanup Options

Trim Each Line

Removes spaces and tabs from the beginning and end of every line:

Before: "  Hello World  "
After:  "Hello World"

Collapse Multiple Spaces

Replaces consecutive spaces with a single space:

Before: "Hello     World    !"
After:  "Hello World !"

Remove Blank Lines

Eliminates empty lines (lines containing only whitespace):

Before:           After:
Line 1            Line 1
                  Line 2
Line 2            Line 3

Line 3

Remove Trailing Whitespace

Strips spaces and tabs from the end of each line (but preserves leading indentation):

Before: "  indented text   "
After:  "  indented text"

Convert Tabs to Spaces

Replaces tab characters with spaces (2 spaces per tab):

Before: "Name\tAge\tCity"
After:  "Name  Age  City"

Remove ALL Whitespace

Nuclear option — strips every whitespace character including spaces, tabs, and newlines:

Before: "Hello World\nHow are you?"
After:  "HelloWorldHowareyou?"
