How trim whitespace works
Whitespace cleanup is a common text-processing step. Extra spaces, tabs, and newlines sneak in from copy-paste, exports, and formatting, and they break comparisons, searches, and parsing. Trimming or normalizing them produces clean, consistent text.
This tool offers three modes. Normalize (default) collapses every run of whitespace — spaces, tabs, newlines — to a single space and trims the ends. Trim removes only leading and trailing whitespace, keeping internal spacing. Remove deletes every whitespace character entirely, joining the text into one run.
Paste your text, pick a mode, and the tool returns the cleaned text with the size saving. Use it before data import, comparison, or search indexing, or to tidy pasted content.
