Text Cleaner

Remove extra spaces, blank lines, tabs and non-printable characters.

How to use this tool

  • Paste the messy text.
  • Toggle the options you need (collapse spaces, trim lines, strip blank lines).
  • Copy the cleaned result.

How it works

Regular expressions normalize whitespace runs, line endings and trailing blank lines according to your selected options.

Tips

  • For PDF-sourced text also consider fixing line breaks when sentences split mid-line.
  • Cleaning before word-counting gives accurate stats.

Limitations

It won't re-join words split across line breaks by default — use add-ons for that flow.

Frequently asked questions

What does the cleaner fix?
