How to Use Whitespace Cleaner
To clean whitespace from text, paste your content into the input area. The tool automatically detects and removes or normalises various types of unwanted whitespace. Options include trimming leading and trailing spaces from each line, collapsing multiple consecutive spaces into one, and removing blank lines.
After selecting the cleaning options you need, the output panel updates instantly with the cleaned text. A stats panel shows how many characters were removed. This tool is ideal for cleaning up text copied from PDFs, websites, or databases where irregular spacing is common.
