What is the Remove Extra Spaces?
The Remove Extra Spaces tool collapses repeated spaces, converts tabs and merges runs of blank lines into one — turning text pasted from PDFs, emails or spreadsheets into clean, publication-ready copy. Only whitespace changes; every visible word stays identical.
Single line breaks and Markdown formatting are preserved, and everything runs in your browser.
