Frequently asked questions
How do I remove blank lines from text?
Paste it in and the blank lines disappear from the result straight away. Copy or download the cleaned text.
Can I keep the spacing between paragraphs?
Yes. Tick “Keep one blank line between paragraphs” to collapse multiple blank lines into one instead of removing them all.
What about lines that only contain spaces?
They look empty but aren’t. “Also remove lines that contain only spaces or tabs” is on by default so they’re cleaned up too.
Will it change my text in other ways?
No — apart from the options you tick, your lines are left exactly as they were.
