Frequently Asked Questions
Will this delete single spaces between words?
No, the tool specifically targets *extra* spaces (two or more consecutive spaces) and reduces them down to a single, proper space.
Does it remove empty blank lines?
Yes, it helps collapse massive multi-line gaps, creating a tighter, more readable document structure.
Is my text sent to your servers?
No. The text cleaning happens entirely inside your web browser. We do not store or read your documents, making this safe for confidential work emails.
