How the text is processed
The tool inspects each line and removes it when it is empty under the selected whitespace rule. Remaining lines are joined in their original order.
Useful workflows
- Clean pasted lists before importing them
- Compact notes or generated text
- Remove gaps from configuration and test fixtures
Limits and review checks
- Removing blank lines can change paragraph structure.
- Whitespace-only lines may be meaningful in indentation-sensitive formats.
- Review code, Markdown and poetry before using the cleaned version.
Frequently asked questions
Will this remove spaces inside a line?
No. It removes entire blank lines, not spaces within non-empty lines.
Can I keep a single blank line between paragraphs?
Use a blank-line normalization option if available; complete removal deletes every qualifying blank line.
