About Remove Line Breaks From Text
This tool strips the hard line breaks out of pasted text. It is built for the common problem where text copied from a PDF, an email, or a code editor arrives with a return at the end of every visual line, so a single sentence gets chopped across several rows. Paste your text and the cleaned version updates as you type.
You control exactly how the breaks are handled. Choose what replaces each break — a single space, nothing at all, a comma, or your own separator — and toggle whether to keep paragraph breaks (blank lines) so wrapped lines rejoin into clean paragraphs instead of collapsing into one long line. Extra options let you drop empty lines, trim stray spaces at the ends of lines, and collapse repeated spaces.
Everything runs entirely in your browser using plain text processing — nothing you paste is uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere. It handles Windows, Mac, and Unix line endings, but it works on plain text only, so formatting like bold or links from a rich document is not preserved.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I remove line breaks from my text?
- Paste your text into the box. The cleaned version appears instantly below with line breaks removed. Choose whether each break becomes a space or nothing, then click Copy result.
- Will it keep my paragraphs?
- Yes, if you leave the "Keep paragraph breaks" option on. Blank lines between blocks are treated as paragraph separators, so wrapped lines rejoin into paragraphs instead of collapsing into one long line. Turn the option off to flatten everything onto a single line.
- Does it work on text copied from a PDF?
- Yes. PDFs and emails often add a hard return at the end of every visual line. This tool un-wraps those lines back into flowing text. Keep the trim and collapse-spaces options on for the cleanest result.
- Is my text private?
- Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you paste is uploaded, saved, or sent to any server.
- Can I replace line breaks with something other than a space?
- Yes. Use the dropdown to join lines directly with no separator, with a comma and space, or with your own custom text such as a pipe or semicolon.
- What line endings does it support?
- It handles Windows (CRLF), Mac, and Unix (LF) line endings. It works on plain text, so rich formatting like bold text or hyperlinks is not preserved.
