Remove Extra Spaces From Text

The mode menu separates empty-line removal, leading-space removal, trailing-space removal and repeated-space cleanup. Extra-space cleanup collapses whitespace runs within a line to a single space. The combined clean mode trims lines, collapses internal runs and removes empty lines.

Clean-up mode: Remove empty lines, Trim leading spaces, Trim trailing spaces, Collapse repeated spaces, Clean all spacing. Initial choice: Remove empty lines.

The entry screen accepts one UTF-8 TXT, CSV, JSON, XML, HTML or HTM file and opens the editor. Imports are text content, not a PDF or Word conversion. Review the source and choose Remove Extra Spaces From Text when ready. Editing or importing alone does not apply the transformation.

Result overview compares Spaces, Tabs and Lines before and after the selected cleanup. These totals help distinguish changes within a line from removal of blank lines. Open Show spaces and tabs to reveal spaces as ·, tabs as ⇥ and line endings as ↵. These marks are only a preview; copied and downloaded text keeps its actual whitespace. Copy the reviewed text or use the download icon to save UTF-8 TXT. Editing the result hides the calculated details until you run the tool again.
