Remove extra spaces
Paste the text to clean up: double spaces become single ones, and tabs and spaces at the start and end of each line disappear. Line breaks stay put.
Where extra spaces come from
Almost always from copy-and-paste: PDFs break lines and pad them with spacing to keep the layout, Word slips in double spaces after periods, spreadsheets turn cells into tabs, and OCR and web pages leave invisible non-breaking spaces ( ) scattered around. This tool normalizes everything: it collapses any run of spaces and tabs into a single space and trims spaces at the beginning and end of every line, without touching the line breaks.
Why stray spaces are a problem
One extra space can break a data match: in a database or a CSV, "Smith " with a trailing space does not equal "Smith", and an email address with a space at the end gets rejected by signup forms. Spaces also count toward character limits (SMS, meta descriptions, social bios), and modern typography calls for a single space after a period. The characters-saved counter tells you at a glance just how "dirty" your original text was.
