Online Tool: Remove Line Breaks
Do you often copy text from PDFs into your notes or emails, only to end up with awkward line breaks in the middle of sentences? Same here. 🙋🏻♂️
That is why I put together this simple and totally ad-free tool. It is written in JavaScript and runs entirely in your browser, so nothing gets uploaded anywhere. You can use it freely without worrying about privacy or overloading someone’s precious server somewhere. ⚡🤖
The tool also provides a quick summary of your output text, including the number of words, total characters, and characters excluding spaces. You can process text with Ctrl + Enter, copy the result with a single click, and download it as a .txt file.
In the top corner, you will find two buttons:
-
or will toggle between light and dark mode,
-
will open the tool in full screen.

Frequently Asked Questions 🔍
Is there a character limit for the tool?
There is no set character limit, but performance may slow down with very large text. Browsers can usually handle up to a few hundred thousand characters. Clipboard copy may not work reliably if the output is extremely long. For best results, keep input under 100,000 characters, which is roughly 15,000 to 20,000 words of typical English text.
Can I use this tool on mobile?
Yes. The tool should work on modern mobile browsers, although the experience is smoother on desktop.
What does "Preserve paragraphs?" mean?
If selected, the tool keeps blank lines as paragraph breaks. If not selected, all line breaks are removed and replaced with spaces.
Will this tool remove hyphenated line breaks?
Yes. The tool automatically joins words split by hyphenated line breaks. For example, "infor-" on one line and "mation" on the next will become "information."
Is my text sent to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your text is never uploaded or stored anywhere.
Can I paste formatted text like bold or italics?
No. This tool works with plain text only. Any formatting (like bold or italics) will be lost when pasting and processing.
Did you use any libraries to build this?
Only Tailwind CSS for styling, and Feather Icons for the SVG icons. The core logic is written in plain JavaScript and runs entirely on the client side.
Can I see or modify the source code?
You absolutely can! Just go full screen, right-click on the page, and select "View Page Source" or "Inspect" to see the HTML and JavaScript.
Are there Terms of Use and a Privacy Policy?
Yes, just a brief one. It is there to keep things complete and transparent. You can find the link to the policy at the bottom of the tool.
