Remove Extra Spaces

This tool scans each line of your text and collapses any run of consecutive spaces or tabs down to a single space, a common cleanup step for text pasted from PDFs, old documents, or other sources that leave irregular spacing behind.

This tool only affects horizontal whitespace within each line, it never deletes a line, even a blank one. Our Remove Empty Lines tool handles removing blank lines themselves. Use both together for a thorough text cleanup.
