Remove line breaks

112 characters · 21 words · 1 lines

Text copied out of a PDF, an email or a spreadsheet almost always arrives broken: hard-wrapped line breaks in the middle of sentences, doubled spaces, repeated rows and invisible formatting characters. This text cleaner bundles the five fixes people search for most — remove line breaks, remove duplicate lines, remove extra spaces, sort lines alphabetically, and strip formatting — into one page so you don't have to hop between tools.

Paste your text once and switch tabs to see each transformation applied live. The line break remover joins wrapped lines back into flowing paragraphs; the duplicate line remover keeps the first occurrence of each line and can ignore case; the space cleaner collapses runs of spaces and tabs, trims each line and reduces blocks of blank lines to a single break. The sorter handles A–Z, Z–A, shortest-to-longest, reverse order and random shuffle, which is handy for keyword lists, CSV columns and log files.

The formatting stripper removes zero-width characters, converts smart quotes and em dashes back to plain ASCII, and optionally deletes emoji, punctuation, numbers or every non-ASCII character. That's the fastest way to clean text before importing it into a database, a spreadsheet or a system that chokes on Unicode. Every operation runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded, stored or logged.
