How to use Whitespace Remover
- Paste text and choose the whitespace rule your workflow needs.
- Run cleanup and inspect the result before replacing the original.
- Copy or download the cleaned text.
Choose a narrow cleanup operation
Trimming each line removes outer whitespace while preserving internal spacing. Collapsing horizontal whitespace changes runs of spaces, tabs and nonbreaking spaces into a single space while retaining line boundaries. Removing blank lines preserves nonblank line contents. Removing all whitespace also removes line breaks, so use it only when concatenation is intended.
Whitespace can be meaningful data
Indentation matters in Python, YAML and Markdown, and spaces matter inside string literals. This tool does not parse a programming language and cannot distinguish syntax from prose. Keep an original copy and use a format-aware formatter for source code. Zero-width characters are not all JavaScript whitespace; invisible character cleanup requires a separate, deliberate rule.
Example input
Hello, world! Clean up copied text.
Will it remove zero-width spaces?
Not necessarily. The cleanup modes use defined whitespace rules, and U+200B is not included in JavaScript’s whitespace character class.
