Remove Empty Lines
Strip blank and whitespace-only lines to compact your text.
Remove Empty Lines
Delete every blank line — including lines that only contain spaces or tabs — so your text becomes tight and continuous. The remaining lines keep their original order and content.
What gets removed
- Completely empty lines
- Lines containing only spaces or tabs
- Large gaps between paragraphs
- Trailing blank lines at the end
When to use it
Perfect for cleaning up copy-pasted content, compacting code, tidying exported data, or removing the double-spacing that often appears when copying from PDFs.
Blank vs. whitespace-only
A line that looks empty may actually contain invisible spaces or tabs. This tool treats any line that is empty after trimming as blank, so even those sneaky whitespace-only lines are removed.
