How the remove extra spaces from text works
Runs of whitespace collapse to a single space.
Leading and trailing whitespace is trimmed.
Line content stays readable and intact.
Rules and edge cases
Runs of two or more spaces or tabs collapse into a single space.
Leading and trailing whitespace on the text is trimmed, so pasted content does not start with a gap.
Line breaks are kept — this tool tidies horizontal spacing without merging your paragraphs.
To join lines into a single paragraph, use the line break remover instead.
Frequently asked questions
Does it remove the double space after a full stop?
Yes. The old typewriter convention of two spaces after a sentence collapses to the single space modern typography expects.
Are non-breaking spaces removed too?
Non-breaking spaces (U+00A0) pasted from Word or a web page are treated as whitespace and collapse with the rest, which is usually what you want when cleaning copy.
