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.
