Whitespace Remover
Whitespace Remover is a free text tool that runs directly in your browser with no account required.
About this tool
Clean up spacing problems in text with three modes: trim the edges, collapse repeated spaces and line breaks into single spaces, or strip every whitespace character. Useful for fixing copy-pasted content, normalizing data values, or compacting strings.
How to use
- Paste your content into the Text field.
- Choose Trim edges, Collapse spaces, or Remove all whitespace in the Mode dropdown.
- Copy the cleaned output.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the three modes?
Trim edges removes whitespace only at the start and end. Collapse spaces also trims, then converts every internal run of spaces, tabs, or newlines to a single space. Remove all whitespace deletes every whitespace character entirely.
Does Collapse spaces remove my line breaks?
Yes. Newlines count as whitespace, so multi-line text becomes a single line with single spaces. Use Trim edges if you want to keep the line structure.
Are tabs and non-breaking-style spaces handled?
The tool matches JavaScript's \s class, which covers spaces, tabs, newlines, and most Unicode whitespace, so unusual invisible characters from web copy-paste are usually caught.
When would I remove all whitespace?
Compacting values like phone numbers, hex strings, license keys, or Base64 that picked up spaces or line wraps in transit.
Is the text sent anywhere for processing?
No. All three modes are regex replacements executed in your browser.
