Whitespace Trimmer

Clean up messy text by removing extra whitespace. Trim leading/trailing spaces, collapse multiple spaces between words, and remove excessive blank lines - all with a click.

FAQ

All mode trims everything (leading, trailing, between words, blank lines). Leading/Trailing modes only strip whitespace at line edges. Between words collapses multiple spaces to one. Blank lines removes lines that are empty or contain only whitespace.

Yes. The tool handles tabs, spaces, and non-breaking spaces when collapsing whitespace between words. Leading and trailing trimming also removes tabs from line edges.

The All mode removes extra spaces between words and trims line edges but doesn't convert line endings (\r\n vs \n). Line endings are preserved as-is from the original text. If you need to normalize line endings, look for a dedicated line ending converter or use Find & Replace.

Whitespace removal only changes whitespace between tokens, not within strings or text content. However, for machine-formatted data, removing whitespace may affect readability. Use a dedicated formatter (HTML Formatter, JSON Formatter, XML Formatter) to re-indent after cleaning — these tools understand the document structure.

A minifier removes ALL unnecessary whitespace (even between quotes and tags) and may rename variables. The whitespace trimmer preserves word boundaries and is designed for readability cleanup, not compression. For production minification, use dedicated minifier tools like CSS Minifier or JavaScript Minifier.

The "All" mode does everything in one pass. For finer control, apply modes sequentially - click one mode, copy the result, paste back, and apply another. Each mode operates on the current input text.
