Frequently asked questions
How is this different from Remove Extra Spaces?
This tool only collapses runs of spaces/tabs into a single space and does not trim line ends, so indentation-sensitive content is preserved apart from internal doubling.
Are line breaks affected?
No — line breaks are kept intact; only horizontal spacing is collapsed.
