Whitespace Normalizer

Paste your text below to normalize whitespace. Multiple consecutive spaces, tabs, and blank lines are cleaned up instantly.




How it works

This tool normalizes whitespace in your text by applying one or more transformations. Processing happens entirely in your browser — nothing is sent to a server.

Available options:

  • Collapse multiple spaces: replaces runs of two or more consecutive spaces with a single space. For example, "hello   world" becomes "hello world".
  • Trim lines: strips leading and trailing whitespace from every line.
  • Remove blank lines: filters out lines that are empty or contain only whitespace.
  • Tabs to spaces: converts each tab character to a single space. Combined with "Collapse multiple spaces", this effectively replaces tabs with one space.
  • Remove trailing newlines: strips blank lines from the end of the text.

Common use cases

  • Cleaning pasted content: text copied from web pages or PDFs often contains irregular spacing that needs tidying up.
  • Code formatting: normalize indentation by converting tabs to spaces and trimming trailing whitespace.
  • Data preparation: clean up CSV or TSV data, log files, or exported text before further processing.
  • Writing and editing: remove accidental double spaces and blank lines from drafts or manuscripts.
