Frequently Asked Questions
Does collapse spaces affect tabs?
Yes. Collapsing replaces sequences of whitespace (spaces, tabs, newlines) with single spaces unless you enable the 'remove all whitespace' option.
Can I keep blank lines but remove extras?
Yes. Disable the blank-line option to keep intentional spacing while trimming each line individually.
Will this modify my actual data files?
No—it only modifies the text within the tool. Copy the output back into your files manually if desired.
Is there a character limit?
Typical browser limits allow for large blocks of text. If you paste extremely large files, performance may vary.
Does it support different encodings?
Text is handled as Unicode strings in JavaScript, so most character sets and emoji are preserved.
Can I automate this process?
Use the output as a reference to build scripts or integrate similar logic into your workflow.
