What is the Whitespace Remover?

The free Whitespace Remover cleans up messy spacing in any text using three selectable modes: Remove extra spaces (collapse multiple spaces into one), Trim leading & trailing spaces (clean each line's edges), and Remove all spaces (strip every whitespace character). It is ideal for cleaning copy-pasted content from PDFs, web pages, or word processors.

  • Clean up double-spaces and rogue tabs pasted from Microsoft Word or PDFs.
  • Trim leading and trailing spaces from CSV fields before importing into a database.
  • Remove all whitespace from a CSS class list or minified string.
