Whitespace & Blank Line Remover

This tool processes text in your browser and removes unwanted whitespace characters. All cleaning happens locally — no data is sent anywhere.

Options include removing extra spaces (multiple spaces become one), stripping leading/trailing whitespace from each line, removing blank lines, converting tabs to spaces, and removing all whitespace.

The cleaned text appears instantly with a copy button for easy transfer to your document or application.

Trailing whitespace: Removes spaces at the end of lines. Important for code and data files.

Tab characters: Converts tabs to spaces or removes them entirely. Helps normalize indentation.

Blank lines: Removes empty lines or consecutive blank lines. Cleans up vertically spaced text.

Indentation may be intentional: Code and formatted text often use indentation. Review before removing all leading whitespace.

Multiple spaces sometimes matter: Markdown tables and ASCII art rely on precise spacing. Don't normalize these.
