About This Calculator
This tool normalizes whitespace in your text. It can collapse runs of spaces into a single space, trim each line so it has no leading/trailing whitespace, and remove empty lines.
You get before/after character counts so you can see exactly how much whitespace was removed.
Cleaning runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it remove single spaces between words?
No. Only runs of 2+ spaces are collapsed to one, so words remain separated normally.
Will it alter my indentation in code?
Yes — if you enable collapsing, indentation is removed. Use this on prose and data, not on source code you want to keep formatted.
