CyberCodeRemove Extra Spaces
Free online tool to remove extra spaces from text. Collapse double spaces, tabs and messy whitespace into single spaces and trim line endings instantly. 100% in-browser.
Where do extra spaces come from?
Double spaces after sentences, tab characters from spreadsheets, trailing whitespace from code editors, and non-breaking spaces from Word documents all survive copy-paste invisibly. They break string comparisons, inflate character counts and look unprofessional in published text.
This tool collapses every run of spaces and tabs into a single space and can trim line starts and ends — the same cleanup professional editors run before publishing.
