Remove Extra Spaces from Text

Collapse double spaces, trim line ends and tidy stray tabs in a single paste.

Options

Extra spaces are invisible until they are not: a double space that breaks a search, trailing whitespace that shows up as a diff on a line nobody edited, tabs mixed with spaces in text that was assembled from three sources. None of it is visible while you read, which is exactly why it survives proofreading. Paste the text and every kind of whitespace noise is normalised at once.

How to Use the Remove Extra Spaces

  1. 1

    Paste the text you want to tidy into the left box.

  2. 2

    Leave the default options on to collapse repeated spaces and trim line ends.

  3. 3

    Turn on tab conversion if the text mixes tabs and spaces.

  4. 4

    Copy the cleaned text back where it came from.

Why Use TextsPro

Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you paste is uploaded. Each kind of whitespace problem gets its own switch, because they are genuinely different jobs: collapsing repeated spaces fixes the double space after a full stop, trimming fixes the trailing whitespace that pollutes diffs, and tab conversion fixes indentation that renders differently in every editor. There is also a remove-all-spaces option for the cases where you want a continuous string rather than tidy prose. It runs as you type, however long the document.
