About Remove Extra Spaces
Text copied from PDFs, web pages and word processors arrives full of invisible clutter: double spaces after full stops, non-breaking spaces, hard tabs and rows of empty lines.
This cleaner normalises all of it in one pass, with each transformation as a separate toggle so you keep exactly the formatting you want and drop the rest.
How Remove Extra Spaces works in your browser
Each clean-up is a separate option: collapse repeated spaces, trim leading and trailing whitespace, convert tabs to spaces and collapse runs of blank lines. Line breaks are kept unless you choose to collapse all whitespace into a single line.
Non-breaking spaces and zero-width characters — common when copying from web pages and word processors — are normalised as well.
When to use it
- Cleaning text copied from a PDF before pasting it elsewhere.
- Removing double spaces from a document.
- Stripping invisible characters that break search or comparisons.
Frequently asked questions
What exactly is removed?
Whichever options you enable: repeated spaces collapse to one, leading and trailing whitespace goes, tabs convert to spaces and repeated blank lines collapse.
Are line breaks preserved?
Yes, unless you explicitly choose to collapse all whitespace, in which case the text becomes a single line.
Does it remove invisible characters?
Yes. Non-breaking spaces and zero-width characters, which often sneak in from web pages and word processors, are normalised too.
