About this tool
Double spaces after periods, accidental triple spaces mid-sentence, trailing spaces at line ends — they are invisible until they break your layout or make data imports fail. This tool collapses every run of spaces into a single space and trims leading and trailing whitespace from each line.
It is especially useful before importing text into spreadsheets or databases, where stray spaces cause failed lookups and mismatched joins.
How to use
- Paste your text into the input area.
- Extra spaces collapse automatically with a live preview.
- Toggle line-trimming if you want edge whitespace removed too.
- Copy or download the cleaned text.
Frequently asked questions
Just the extras. Single spaces between words are kept; only runs of two or more spaces are collapsed into one.
There is an option to convert tabs to single spaces, which helps when pasting from spreadsheets or code editors with tab indentation.
It treats all text the same, so intentional multiple spaces anywhere in the text will be collapsed. Check the preview before copying if spacing is significant.
