Remove Line Breaks
Paste your text below and get a clean, single-flow version with the line breaks removed.
Processed on your device — nothing is sent anywhere.
How it works
- Paste or type your text into the input field.
- Choose whether to remove all line breaks or keep paragraph breaks.
- Copy the cleaned result with the copy button.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the difference between the two modes?
- Remove all breaks joins every line into one continuous block of text, separated by single spaces. Keep paragraph breaks only merges lines within a paragraph, so blank lines between paragraphs are preserved. The second mode is useful for text copied from PDFs, where every visual line ends with a hard break.
- Why does text copied from a PDF break on every line?
- PDFs store text as fixed lines laid out for the printed page, so copying carries a hard line break at the end of every visual row. Pasting that into an email or document scatters short choppy lines everywhere. The keep-paragraph-breaks mode repairs this: it merges the artificial breaks while preserving the blank lines that mark real paragraphs.
- Does the tool also fix extra spaces?
- Yes. When lines are joined, any runs of multiple spaces or tabs are collapsed into a single space, and leading or trailing whitespace is trimmed. This keeps the output clean even if the source text had irregular spacing.
- Will the tool change my words or punctuation?
- No. Only whitespace is touched — line breaks, tabs and repeated spaces. Every word, punctuation mark, number and special character comes through exactly as you pasted it, so the cleaned text is safe to use in quotes, code comments or legal passages where wording must not change.
- Is my text sent to a server?
- No. The text is processed entirely on your device using JavaScript in your browser, and nothing is uploaded anywhere. You can even use the tool offline once the page has loaded.
About this tool
This tool strips unwanted line breaks out of any text. Paste in choppy, hard-wrapped content and get back smooth, continuous prose in one of two ways: remove every break to produce a single flowing block, or keep paragraph breaks so blank lines survive while the artificial breaks inside each paragraph are merged away. Along the way, runs of spaces and tabs are collapsed to single spaces and stray whitespace at the ends of lines is trimmed.
Processing happens entirely in your browser. The moment you paste or switch modes, a small piece of JavaScript rewrites the whitespace on your own device — nothing is uploaded, logged or stored, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded. That makes it safe for confidential material like contracts, medical text or unpublished writing.
The classic use case is text copied from a PDF, where every visual line ends in a hard break that wrecks the flow when pasted elsewhere. The same problem appears with plain-text emails, terminal output, subtitles, OCR results and code comments. Editors and students use the tool to prepare quoted passages, marketers to clean copy pulled from design files, and translators to reflow source text before feeding it to translation software.
Choosing the right mode is the only decision. If the source has real paragraphs you want to keep — an article, a report chapter — use keep paragraph breaks, since removing everything would weld separate paragraphs into one wall of text. If you need a single unbroken line, such as a meta description, a spreadsheet cell or one string of code, use remove all breaks. Either way, check the first few sentences of the output before copying: hyphenated words split across lines in the source are joined with the hyphen kept.
