Remove Blank Lines
Remove empty lines, whitespace-only lines, or repeated blank space from pasted text and copy the cleaned result.
Frequently asked questions
Does this Remove Blank Lines tool upload my text?
No. The cleanup happens in your browser, so the text does not need to be sent to a server for this tool to work.
What counts as a blank line?
A blank line is an empty line or a line that contains only whitespace such as spaces or tabs.
What is the difference between remove, collapse, and trim outer blanks?
Remove drops blank lines entirely. Collapse keeps one blank line between content blocks. Trim outer blanks removes only the blank padding before and after the text.
Does it change lines with text?
Not by default. Lines with content are kept as they are unless Trim line edges is turned on.
Can it remove whitespace-only lines?
Yes. Whitespace-only lines are treated as blank lines, because they look empty but still contain spaces or tabs.
Can I copy only the cleaned result?
Yes. The Copy button copies the cleaned result, not the original input.
