About this tool
Blank lines creep in when you copy from spreadsheets, PDFs, chat logs, and web pages, leaving awkward gaps in lists and documents. Deleting them one by one is miserable. This tool strips every empty line — including lines that contain only spaces or tabs — in a single click.
It is a natural first step before sorting, numbering, or deduplicating a list, since stray blanks would otherwise be treated as items.
How to use
- Paste your text into the input box.
- Blank lines are removed automatically with a live preview.
- Check the line counts to confirm what changed.
- Copy or download the compacted text.
