Extra spaces creep in when text is copied from PDFs, websites or spreadsheets, or when a document has been edited many times. They make text look untidy and can cause problems in forms, code, and data lists. Cleaning them by hand is slow, especially in a long text, and it is easy to miss some. This tool removes the extra spaces and blank lines in one pass, while keeping the words and their order unchanged.
Check the cleaned text once before you use it, especially if it contains code or tables where spaces may be meaningful. For ordinary prose and lists, cleaning is safe, but for anything where spacing carries meaning, keep a copy of the original first.
Privacy: this tool runs entirely in your browser — no upload, no signup, and your files never leave your device.
Clean up copied-and-pasted text — remove double and triple spaces, delete empty lines and trim the ends of every line.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly does Remove Extra Spaces remove?
It removes repeated spaces between words and blank lines, leaving single spaces and normal line breaks. It does not change the words, their spelling, or their order.
Will it remove spaces I need, such as indentation?
For ordinary prose it is safe, but if your text relies on indentation or aligned columns, such as code or a table, check the result carefully. Keep a copy of the original before cleaning in those cases.
Can I clean a very long text?
Yes, for normal document lengths the tool handles it in the browser. Extremely long texts may take a moment, so wait for the cleaned result before copying it.
Is my text uploaded when I clean it?
No. Cleaning happens in your browser only. Nothing is sent to a server and nothing is saved after you close the page.
