How to Clean Up Text

  1. Paste your text. Drop the messy text into the top box — copied from a PDF, a web page, an email, anywhere.
  2. Pick a cleanup. Use one of the three specific buttons, or Clean All to apply everything at once.
  3. Check the result. The cleaned text appears below, so you can confirm nothing you wanted was removed.
  4. Copy it. Take the tidied text wherever it needs to go.

What This Tool Does

Text copied from somewhere else rarely arrives clean. PDFs bring line breaks in the middle of sentences, web pages bring indentation from the page's layout, and emails bring double spaces and stray blank lines. This tool strips that clutter out so you're left with just the words, ready to paste into a document, a CMS, or a spreadsheet.

Your text is processed entirely inside your browser. Nothing is sent to a server, so whatever you paste stays on your own device.

What Each Button Removes

Trim Lines removes whitespace from the start and end of every line. That's the fix for text that arrives indented, or that carries invisible trailing spaces — the kind that break a search or leave odd gaps when the text is reflowed. Remove Blank Lines strips out empty lines, which is what you want when a copied passage arrives with a gap between every paragraph. Fix Spaces collapses runs of spaces inside a line down to one, catching the double spaces left behind by old typing habits or by deleted words.

Clean All applies all three at once, which is usually what you want for text pasted out of a PDF. This is also a good first step before comparing two documents with Text Diff — running both versions through the same cleanup means the comparison shows real edits rather than formatting noise.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between Trim Lines and Fix Spaces?

Trim Lines works at the edges — it removes whitespace before the first character and after the last one on each line. Fix Spaces works inside the line, collapsing repeated spaces between words down to a single one.

Will it remove the paragraph breaks I want to keep?

Remove Blank Lines takes out every empty line, including the ones separating paragraphs. If you want to keep those, use Trim Lines and Fix Spaces instead of Clean All.

Why does text copied from a PDF look so broken?

A PDF stores text positioned on a page rather than as flowing paragraphs, so copying it often produces a line break at the end of every visual line. Cleaning up the spacing helps, though sentences split across lines may still need a manual pass.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. The cleanup runs locally in your browser, so nothing you paste ever leaves your device.
