FAQ
Can I keep line breaks but remove only extra spaces?
Yes — that's exactly what Collapse spaces does on its own: it collapses runs of spaces/tabs to one, leaving every line break untouched.
Does it trim each line individually, or only the whole block?
Per line — Trim each line strips leading/trailing whitespace from every line individually, not just the first and last line of the block.
Can it remove blank/empty lines entirely?
Yes — Collapse blank lines turns any run of 2 or more consecutive line breaks into a single one, which removes blank lines rather than just limiting how many can stack up.
Why does pasted text from PDFs/emails end up with messy spacing?
Different sources encode spacing differently (non-breaking spaces, inconsistent tabs) — pasting keeps these invisible artifacts even after formatting is stripped.
Is my text sent to a server?
No, entirely client-side.
