Clean messy text: collapse spaces, trim lines, merge blank lines, strip trailing spaces and normalize line endings, with before-after counts.
All processing happens locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.
You paste your text, pick which cleanup rules you want, and the result appears instantly below — together with a character count comparison. There is no processing step and no waiting: the rules are applied live as you type, so you can toggle options on and off to see exactly what each one removes before you copy the result.
Each option is independent and you can combine them: collapse runs of multiple spaces into one, trim whitespace at the start and end of every line, merge several blank lines into a single blank line, strip trailing spaces from lines, trim the whole text block, and normalize Windows line endings (\r\n) to plain \n. The cleaned output updates live as you type.
No. Only whitespace characters are touched — spaces, tabs and line endings. Word order, punctuation, capitalization and any Markdown or code you care about are left exactly as you typed them. If you only want a light pass, leave just the options you need checked.
No. Everything runs locally in your browser with plain JavaScript. Your text never leaves the page, there is no server round-trip and no account, so you can safely paste private notes, code or logs.
Windows files use \r\n (CRLF) while macOS and Linux use \n (LF). Mixed line endings can break diffs, scripts and tools like git or linters. Normalizing to \n makes the text behave consistently on every platform, and the stats show you exactly how many characters were removed.
Before counts the characters in your pasted text, After counts the characters in the cleaned result, and Saved is the difference — the number of whitespace characters removed. They update in real time as you type or toggle options.
