Remove Extra Spaces

How to use Remove Spaces

1. Paste text or select a local .txt or .md document.
2. Enable only the collapsing, trimming, indentation, and Unicode-space rules you need.
3. Review line breaks and alignment, then copy or download the cleaned text.

Supported behavior

Remove Extra Spaces normalizes horizontal whitespace with controls that prevent accidental loss of layout. It can collapse repeated spaces, replace tab runs with one space, trim each line’s beginning or end, trim the full document, collapse repeated blank lines, and optionally normalize Unicode spaces such as non-breaking spaces. Line breaks are preserved by default and are never removed without an explicit choice. Indented source code and outlines need special care: enabling Preserve indentation protects leading spaces while allowing cleanup elsewhere. Non-breaking spaces are left alone unless Unicode-space normalization is selected, avoiding unrequested changes to typographic spacing. Each operation produces plain text that can be copied or downloaded. Your pasted text or selected .txt or .md file is transformed entirely on the device; neither source nor result is uploaded. Because whitespace can carry meaning in code, Markdown, tables, and poetry, review the selected options and preview rather than assuming every run is redundant.

• Collapsing whitespace can damage fixed-width tables or syntax where spacing is significant.
• Unicode spaces remain unchanged unless their dedicated normalization option is enabled.

Examples
