About this Tool

The Whitespace Cleaner is a text formatting utility designed to instantly scrub invisible, unnecessary characters from your documents and code snippets. When collaborating across different text editors or copy-pasting from web sources, text often inherits broken formatting, excessive tabs, and chaotic line breaks.

This tool uses regular expressions to quickly identify and strip out excess blank lines, trim trailing spaces, and normalize indentation. It provides fine-grained execution criteria so you can dictate exactly how aggressive the formatting should be, resulting in perfectly structured, readable plaintext.

How to Use

Paste your poorly formatted text, code, or paragraphs into the Original Content panel.

Adjust Modifiers

Use the execution criteria to determine whether you want to purge empty lines, convert tabs to standard spaces, or trim the edges of every line.
