Whitespace Cleaner — Trim & Normalize Spaces Online

Fix invisible formatting problems that break the look of pasted text — extra spaces between words, trailing whitespace at line ends, and non-breaking spaces that sneak in from Microsoft Word or PDF exports. Toggle each option independently so you only remove the whitespace types you need. The cleaned result is shown live so you can see exactly what changed before copying.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kinds of whitespace does this tool clean?
It can trim leading and trailing whitespace per line, collapse multiple consecutive spaces into one, and remove non-breaking spaces (the NBSP character common in Word and PDF exports).
Will it change my line breaks?
No. The cleaner only affects horizontal whitespace within each line. Line breaks are preserved unless you enable a "join lines" option.
Can it fix text pasted from Microsoft Word or a PDF?
Yes. Word and PDF text often contains extra spaces, smart quotes, and non-breaking spaces. The whitespace cleaner strips these normalisation issues quickly.
