The Remove Line Breaks tool joins text that has been chopped into many short lines back into smooth, flowing paragraphs. It is ideal for cleaning up copy pasted from PDFs, emails, or code editors where every line ends with an unwanted hard return.
You can choose to preserve real paragraph breaks (blank lines) while removing the line breaks inside each paragraph, and decide whether broken lines are joined with a space or none at all. Everything runs in your browser, keeping your text private and the result instant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does text copied from PDFs have line breaks on every line?
PDFs store text with fixed line widths, so copying often adds a hard return at the end of each visible line. This tool removes those breaks and rejoins the words into proper paragraphs.
What does 'Keep paragraph breaks' do?
With it enabled, blank lines that separate paragraphs are preserved while the line breaks inside each paragraph are removed, so your document structure stays intact.
Should I join lines with a space or nothing?
Use a space for normal prose so words do not run together. Choose no space when joining text that was split mid-word or for data where spaces are not wanted.
Does this tool change anything besides line breaks?
It also collapses any double spaces created by joining lines. Your actual words and punctuation are left unchanged, and nothing is uploaded anywhere.
