Remove All Whitespace

Remove all whitespace characters from your text including spaces, tabs, and line breaks

What is the Remove Whitespace?

This tool removes whitespace that copying and pasting tends to introduce: doubled spaces, stray tabs, trailing spaces at end of line, and runs of empty lines. It leaves the words untouched, so the text stays readable but stops carrying invisible formatting from wherever it came from.

Frequently asked questions

Why does pasted text have invisible extra spaces?

PDFs, Word documents and web pages often use multiple spaces or non-breaking spaces for visual alignment. When you copy the text, those characters come along and misalign it in a plain-text context such as code, YAML or a CSV.
