Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of whitespace can this tool remove?
It can collapse repeated spaces, trim spaces at the start and end of lines, delete entirely blank lines, and convert tab characters into single spaces.
Does it remove the spaces between words?
No. Collapsing only reduces runs of two or more spaces down to a single space, so the normal single spaces between words are preserved.
Can I keep blank lines if I want?
Yes. Just leave the 'Remove blank lines' option unchecked and your blank lines are kept while other cleanups still apply.
Is my text uploaded for cleaning?
No. All whitespace cleanup runs locally in your browser, so your content stays private on your device.
