What does a blank line remover do?
A blank line remover cleans up text by deleting empty lines, or collapsing runs of multiple blank lines down to a single one. Pixvert's tool also trims trailing whitespace from the end of each line, which is invisible on screen but can cause subtle formatting or version-control issues.
Text pasted from PDFs, emails, spreadsheets, or old documents often ends up with inconsistent spacing — double or triple blank lines between paragraphs, or lines that look empty but actually contain trailing spaces or tabs. This tool normalizes all of that in one pass.
This is especially useful before pasting text into a CMS, a code file, a config file, or any place where extra blank lines create unwanted visual gaps or make a diff harder to read.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between removing and collapsing blank lines?
Removing deletes every blank line entirely, joining all content tightly together. Collapsing keeps paragraph breaks but reduces any run of multiple blank lines down to just one.
Is my text sent to a server?
No, all processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted or stored.
Does the tool remove trailing spaces on non-blank lines too?
Yes, trailing whitespace at the end of every line is trimmed, whether the line is blank or contains text.
Will this affect the indentation inside my lines?
No, leading whitespace (indentation) within lines that contain text is preserved — only blank lines and trailing whitespace are affected.
Can I use this on code files?
Yes, it works on any plain text, including code, though be cautious with languages where blank lines carry semantic meaning (rare, but check your specific use case).
Is there a text length limit?
No hard limit is enforced, though very large documents may take a moment to process depending on your device.
