Remove Line Breaks

Why do line breaks keep messing up my text?

Here's the deal: when you copy text from a PDF, an email, or pretty much any formatted source, hidden line breaks tag along for the ride. You paste it into a text box and suddenly every sentence is broken across two lines. It looks terrible and it's annoying to fix manually, especially with long documents. This tool takes care of it in one click.

What are the different options for?

“Remove all” completely strips every line break, smashing all lines into one continuous stream. “Replace with space” is what most people want — it joins lines together naturally with a single space between them, like they were written on one line. “Replace with comma” is handy when you have a list of items on separate lines and want them as a comma-separated list. And the custom option lets you use literally any separator you want: pipes, semicolons, arrows, whatever your use case needs.

Some practical use cases

Cleaning up text from PDFs is probably the number one reason people use this tool. PDF copy-paste is notoriously messy — you get random line breaks mid-sentence, double spaces, and other formatting garbage. Another big use case: you have a list of emails or names, one per line, and you need them in a comma-separated format for a spreadsheet or database import. Or maybe you're a developer and you have multi-line output from a log file that you want on a single line for easier grep searching.

Does this tool do anything to my data?

Nope. Everything happens right in your browser. Your text is never uploaded, stored, or shared with anyone. It's just JavaScript running on the page manipulating your string — no servers involved at all. Once you close or refresh the tab, everything is gone.
