Everything You Need

Powerful features designed to make your text work easier and faster.

6 Removal Modes

Remove all blanks, whitespace-only lines, collapse consecutive blanks, or remove leading/trailing/edges only.

Collapse Limit Control

When collapsing, limit to 1, 2, or 3 maximum blank lines — control exactly how many blanks to preserve.

4 Trim Modes

No trimming, trim each line, trim final output, or trim both — for clean, consistent whitespace handling.

Whitespace-Only Detection

Optionally treat lines with only spaces/tabs as blank — catch invisible blank lines that look empty.

Preserve Paragraph Breaks

Keep a single blank line between paragraphs while removing all other blank lines — maintain document structure.

What is the difference between "all" and "whitespace-only"?
