About the Line Break Remover

Text copied from a PDF, an email, or a terminal often has a hard line break at the end of every line, and it looks broken when you paste it into a document or a form. The Line Break Remover joins those lines back into flowing text.

Keeping paragraphs

With Preserve Paragraphs on, a blank line counts as a paragraph break and is kept, while single line breaks inside a paragraph become spaces. Switch to Remove All to join everything into one block.

Extra cleanup

Runs of spaces and tabs are collapsed into a single space, and whitespace at the start and end is trimmed, which cleans up the gaps PDFs tend to leave. Windows (CRLF) and Unix (LF) line endings are handled the same way.

When it helps

  • Pasting paragraphs from a PDF into a document, email, or CMS.
  • Cleaning up quoted email replies and terminal output.
  • Preparing text for a single-line field, such as a CSV cell or a JSON string.
