Remove Extra Spaces

Clean up messy whitespace fast. Choose to trim only leading or trailing spaces, collapse runs of whitespace into a single space, or strip every space and tab altogether.

How it works

Each line is processed independently. Modes: leading (trim start), trailing (trim end), extra (collapse runs of ASCII spaces/tabs and trim), or all (drop every whitespace character).

How to use it

  1. Paste the messy text

    Drop in PDF text, scraped data or a CSV export with weird padding. The tool processes every line independently.

  2. Pick the cleanup mode

    Leading trims line starts, trailing trims line ends, extra collapses runs of spaces and tabs, all strips every whitespace.

  3. Run the cleanup

    Each line is rewritten with the rule you picked. Empty lines stay empty, no escape sequences are touched.

  4. Copy the clean text

    Take the tidy output into your database, a diff tool, or any pipeline where consistent whitespace matters.

Use cases

Tidy text pasted from a PDF or web page.

Normalise whitespace before saving to a database.
