Remove Extra Spaces

Cleaning up spaces

• Remove Extra Spaces — collapses runs of spaces and tabs down to one space.
• Remove Leading Spaces — strips whitespace from the start of every line.
• Remove Trailing Spaces — strips whitespace from the end of every line.
• Fix Spacing — a sensible all-in-one clean-up: trims every line and collapses excess blank lines.
• Normalize Whitespace — the most aggressive option: flattens all spaces, tabs, and line breaks into single spaces.

Working with lines

• Remove Empty Lines — drops every blank line entirely.
• Remove Multiple Line Breaks — keeps single blank lines between paragraphs, removing extras.

Tabs & indentation

• Remove Tabs — deletes every tab character.
• Convert Tabs to Spaces — replaces each tab with 4 spaces.
• Convert Spaces to Tabs — replaces leading 4-space indents with tabs.

Turn on Show spaces & tabs in the tool above to see exactly what changed — spaces and tabs are otherwise invisible in plain text.
