Remove Blank Lines
Delete empty and whitespace-only lines from a block of text in one pass.
Delete empty lines from text
This tool strips out every line that is empty or holds only spaces and tabs, turning a gappy block into a clean, continuous list. It is a common step after copying text out of a PDF, an email or a spreadsheet, where blank lines tend to sneak in between rows and paragraphs.
Tidy up messy spacing too
An extra option collapses repeated spaces inside each remaining line down to a single space and trims the edges, which helps when the source text has uneven spacing on top of the blank lines.
How to remove blank lines
Paste your text and the cleaned version appears on the right. Switch on the collapse option if the spacing inside lines is messy as well.
Frequently asked questions
Does it remove lines that contain only a space?
Yes. Any line made up only of spaces or tabs is treated as blank and removed, not just lines with zero characters.
Will it remove the gaps between my paragraphs?
It removes every blank line the same way, including intentional paragraph spacing, so check the result if you need to keep some of those gaps.
