Frequently Asked Questions
Why does copied text have unwanted line breaks?
PDFs, emails, and some documents add hard line breaks at the end of each line for formatting. When you copy this text, those breaks come along, creating awkward formatting when pasted elsewhere. This tool removes them to restore natural paragraph flow.
What's the difference between removing all line breaks vs keeping paragraph breaks?
Removing all line breaks creates one continuous block of text. Keeping paragraph breaks preserves double line breaks (blank lines) that separate paragraphs, maintaining document structure while removing single line breaks within paragraphs.
Will this tool remove spaces between words?
No, this tool removes line breaks and reduces multiple consecutive spaces to single spaces. Normal spacing between words is preserved. If you need to remove all spaces, use our Remove All Spaces tool instead.
Is my text private when using this tool?
Yes, all text processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never uploaded to any server or stored anywhere, ensuring complete privacy.
