Remove Extra Spaces
Clean double spaces, tabs, repeated spacing, and stray edge spaces from pasted text while keeping the useful text structure.
Frequently asked questions
Does this Remove Extra Spaces 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.
Does it remove line breaks?
No. This tool is for spaces and tabs inside existing lines. Use Remove Line Breaks when the line breaks themselves need cleanup.
What does Smart cleanup do?
Smart cleanup trims each line, changes tabs and common non-breaking spaces into regular spaces, and collapses repeated spaces inside the line.
Can I keep intentional spacing?
Yes. Use Trim line edges if you only want to remove leading and trailing whitespace while keeping inner spaces.
What counts as a spacing issue?
A spacing issue is a repeated whitespace group or edge whitespace group that may make pasted text look uneven.
What does Remove hidden do?
Remove hidden deletes zero-width spaces, soft hyphens, word joiners, and byte-order marks. U+200C and U+200D are preserved because they can join visible text and emoji. Hidden audit shows these characters separately.
What is Hidden audit?
Hidden audit lists invisible characters found in the input with their Unicode codes and counts, so you can confirm whether the cleanup is solving the right problem.
Can I use it without an account?
Yes. Open the page, paste the text, choose a cleanup mode, and copy the result without login or payment.
