Copy the clean text
The result shows how many characters were removed. Copy it back to where you need it.
Where extra spaces come from
Copying from PDFs, slides and web pages often brings along double spaces, tabs, non-breaking spaces and blank lines. They are hard to see but break searches, formulas and imports.
What counts as a space
Ordinary spaces, tabs and non-breaking spaces are all treated as spaces. Line breaks are only touched when you remove empty lines.
Frequently asked questions
Will paragraphs be merged?
No, line breaks stay where they are. Removing empty lines deletes the blank lines between paragraphs, so turn it off if you want to keep them.
Can I use it on code?
Be careful with code and Markdown, where indentation has meaning. Turn off trimming to keep the indentation.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Cleaning happens in your browser.
