Normalizing whitespace
Text cleaner online for messy pasted prose: normalizes Windows line endings, collapses runs of spaces and tabs, reduces three or more line breaks to two, and trims outer whitespace.
- Step 1
Use the workspace
Paste prose and choose Clean Text. Compare paragraph breaks and spacing before copying the cleaned output.
Output behavior and limits
It does not correct spelling, remove HTML, or redact personal information. Collapsing tabs can damage indentation or tab-separated columns.
Use it for prose copied from uneven sources. Keep structured data, Python indentation, and tab-separated tables in their original format.
