Messy text with extra spaces and blank lines becomes neat, clean text

Removing line breaks

Text copied from PDFs, emails and scanned documents often has a hard return at the end of every visual line. Choosing Replace with a space joins everything into one block. If your text has real paragraphs, choose Join lines, keep paragraphs so blank lines between paragraphs survive.

Pick Remove completely only for data like phone numbers or codes split across lines, since words would otherwise run together.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove line breaks from text?

Paste your text above. With “Replace with a space” selected every line break becomes a single space.

How do I keep paragraphs but remove other line breaks?

Choose “Join lines, keep paragraphs”. Blank lines between paragraphs are preserved.

Why does PDF text have so many line breaks?

A PDF positions text line by line, so copying it brings a break at the end of each line.
