How it works

1Paste your text. Type or paste the text you want to clean into the input box.
2Choose cleanup options. Decide which rules apply — extra spaces, line trimming, tabs, blank lines, and punctuation spacing.
3Review the cleaned result. The cleaned text updates instantly next to your input, with before/after statistics.
4Copy or download. Copy the result or download it as a UTF-8 TXT file — Tamil, Hindi and emoji are preserved.

Best practices

Paste text from email, documents or websites — the tool is built for messy copied text.
Use the blank-line options to control paragraph spacing: one blank line between paragraphs is the default, or remove all blank lines.
Optional punctuation rules are conservative — URLs, decimals, emails and version numbers are never modified.
This is a prose cleaner, not a code formatter. Removing leading spaces changes indentation, so disable "Remove leading & trailing spaces" before cleaning code.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Remove Extra Spaces remove?

It removes repeated spaces, repeated tabs, leading and trailing spaces on every line, and excessive blank lines, while keeping your paragraph structure intact.

Can it remove blank lines?

Yes. By default it keeps at most one blank line between paragraphs. You can also switch on "Remove all blank lines" to delete empty lines entirely.

Will it keep paragraph breaks?

Yes. Meaningful line breaks are always preserved — lines are cleaned one by one and never merged into one paragraph. Only blank-line runs are reduced.

Can I remove tabs?

Yes. "Replace tabs with spaces" is on by default and converts tabs into single spaces, so a tab-indented document becomes space-separated.

Can I use Tamil or other languages?

Yes. The tool works with any Unicode text, including Tamil, Hindi, English, emoji, and mixed-language content, without corrupting the characters.

Does it send my text to an AI API?

No. This tool performs deterministic whitespace cleanup locally in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
