About this tool: Remove Extra Spaces

Clean spacing in one click

The Remove Extra Spaces tool normalises all whitespace in your text: collapses double spaces to single ones, strips leading and trailing spaces from every line, removes empty lines, and converts stray tabs. One paste, one click, and the mess is gone.

Messy spacing comes from everywhere — OCR output, PDF copy-paste, converted documents, hasty typing. Double spaces slip past the eye but break justified text, inflate character counts and look unprofessional in published copy. Automated cleanup is faster and more reliable than hunting spaces by hand.

Processing is instant and local: your text is cleaned in your browser and never leaves your device. Pair it with the Text Cleaner for a full deep-clean, or the Case Converter to fix letter formatting in the same editing session.

Like every Piclizer tool, this one runs entirely in your browser — your files stay on your device.
