What would you like to do next?
Remove extra spaces from text
Paste text above to collapse every run of spaces or tabs into a single space and trim the spaces from the start and end of each line. This fixes the double spaces left after sentences, the stray tabs in copied tables, and the ragged spacing in text pasted from different sources. The cleanup runs entirely in your browser.
What it does not change
It keeps your line breaks, so paragraphs stay separate. To join lines into one block, use the remove line breaks tool.
Frequently asked questions
Does it remove line breaks too?
No. It only collapses spaces and tabs and trims each line. Use the remove line breaks tool to join lines.
Does it trim the start and end?
Yes. Leading and trailing spaces on each line are removed.
