Frequently asked questions
What exactly is removed?
Repeated spaces and tabs are collapsed to a single space, and leading/trailing whitespace is trimmed from each line and the whole text. Line breaks are preserved.
Will it merge my paragraphs?
No. Only horizontal whitespace is normalised; your line breaks and paragraphs stay intact. To merge lines, use the Line Break Remover.
