Text Cleaner
Remove extra spaces, empty lines, HTML tags, and duplicate content from your text. Free, instant cleaning and formatting tool.
The Text Cleaner is designed to solve the everyday frustration of messy, inconsistent text. Whether you have copied content from a website riddled with extra whitespace, received a document with erratic line breaks, or need to strip HTML markup from source code, this tool handles it all in a single click. Writers, developers, data analysts, and content managers rely on text cleaning as a routine step before publishing, processing, or analyzing text.
Extra spaces and inconsistent formatting are among the most common text problems. They creep in when copying from PDFs, emails, or web pages, and they can break code, distort layouts, and make documents look unprofessional. The Remove Extra Spaces mode collapses multiple consecutive spaces into a single space. Remove Empty Lines eliminates blank lines that pad your text unnecessarily. Trim Lines strips leading and trailing whitespace from every line, and Single Line merges all lines into one continuous string โ perfect for preparing text for spreadsheet cells or database fields.
For more specialized cleaning, Strip HTML Tags removes all HTML and XML markup while preserving the readable text content. This is invaluable when migrating content between platforms or extracting text from web scraping results. Remove Special Characters strips punctuation and non-alphanumeric characters, useful for preparing text for natural language processing or keyword extraction. Remove Numbers eliminates all digit characters, and Remove Duplicate Lines keeps only unique lines in your text โ ideal for cleaning up lists, log files, or CSV data.
All processing happens entirely in your browser. No data is uploaded to any server, so your text remains private and secure. The tool works on any device with a modern browser and handles text of any length instantly.
