Extra Whitespace Removal Tool

Using our easy and free-to-use extra whitespace removal tool, you can delete extra space and tab spaces from text. This tool detects several whitespaces and replaces them with a single whitespace. The Extra Whitespace Removal tool can also delete all tab spaces if you need that option, or it'll replace them with a single whitespace.

Text whitespace remover examples

Delete Only Regular Spaces: In this example, we clear a text about dogs from all spaces using remove-all-spaces option. As you can see, all newlines were left intact.

Before:
Dogs were domesticated from wolves as recently as 15,000 years ago. Dogs, like humans, are highly social animals. They are very playful, friendly and easily trained. Dogs can differ in appearance, character, behavior, and size. Today there are about 138 officially recognized dog breeds.

Remove Spaces and Tabs: In this example, we use remove-all-spaces-and-tabs option to delete all spaces and tabs from a fragment of Metallica's song Enter Sandman. It contains spaces, tabs and newlines but as we use the second option, the newlines remain unchanged.

Before:
Exit, light Enter, night Take my hand. We're off to never-never land

After:

Delete All Whitespace: This example enables the third option that removes absolutely all whitespaces (spaces, tabs, newlines) from a cute phrase that the penguin says in cartoon Madagascar.

Before:
Just smile and wave,boys. Smile and wave.
