CyberCodeRemove Empty Lines
Free online tool to remove empty lines from text. Clean up lists, logs and documents by deleting blank and whitespace-only lines instantly. Runs entirely in your browser.
Why do blank lines appear in copied text?
Copying from PDFs, spreadsheets, web pages or chat apps often inserts blank lines between every row — an artefact of how those formats represent line breaks. Pasting such text into code, a CSV or a mailing list then breaks tooling that expects one entry per line.
This tool strips truly empty lines and, optionally, lines containing only invisible whitespace (spaces and tabs) — the ones that look empty but aren't, and cause the most confusing bugs.
How to use
- 01Paste your text into the input box.
- 02Keep the whitespace-only option on to also remove lines containing only spaces.
- 03Click Remove empty lines.
- 04Copy or download the cleaned text.
Frequently asked questions
- What counts as an empty line?
- A truly empty line contains nothing at all. With the whitespace option enabled, lines containing only spaces or tabs are also removed.
- Will this change the order of my remaining lines?
- No. Only blank lines are removed — everything else stays exactly in its original order.
- Is my text sent to a server?
- No. The tool runs 100% in your browser and nothing is uploaded or stored.
