When Do You Need This?
Text copied from PDFs, scanned documents, web pages, or Word files often arrives with extra spaces, double line breaks, inconsistent indentation, and trailing whitespace. Cleaning this manually is tedious and error-prone. This tool fixes all of it in one click.
Common Cleaning Tasks
- PDF copy-paste: PDFs often insert line breaks in the middle of sentences and add extra spaces between words.
- Data entry cleaning: CSV and database fields with leading/trailing spaces cause matching failures.
- Legal / contractual text: Documents with inconsistent spacing before importing into CMS or legal software.
- Code documentation: Paste Javadoc / Doxygen comments and normalise whitespace before reformatting.
- WhatsApp / chat exports: Chat logs contain irregular line breaks and repeated blank lines.
Developer Note
This tool is equivalent to running str.trim() + str.replace(/\s+/g, ' ') in JavaScript — but with a visual, interactive interface and line-by-line options that scripts don't easily provide.
