About
What does 'remove extra spaces' mean?
When you copy text from certain sources — PDFs, OCR software, old documents, or web pages — extra space characters often sneak in between words. A sentence that looks like "Hello World" contains two or three spaces where there should be one. This breaks formatting, causes alignment issues in documents, and looks unprofessional.
This tool collapses any sequence of two or more spaces (or tabs) into a single space, on every line, without removing intentional line breaks or paragraph structure. It's the fastest way to clean spacing in bulk without a word processor.
Common causes of extra spaces include: PDF copy-paste, OCR text extraction, formatting carried over from Word documents, and text exported from apps that use fixed-width spacing.
