Frequently Asked Questions

How do I only remove spaces at the beginning and end of text?

Enable "Trim leading/trailing spaces" to remove whitespace from both ends of the entire text without affecting internal spaces.

How do I turn multiple spaces into one?

Enable "Merge consecutive spaces" to replace any sequence of multiple spaces with a single space.

How do I remove all blank lines?

Enable "Remove blank lines" to delete all lines that contain no text content.

What is the difference between full-width and half-width spaces?

Full-width spaces (used in CJK text) are wider than regular half-width spaces. Enable "Full-width to half-width spaces" to convert them.

What are zero-width spaces?

Zero-width spaces are invisible characters that take up no visual space but exist in the text. They are often introduced when copying from web pages or documents.

Why are English words joined together after processing?

This happens when "Remove all spaces" is enabled. It removes every space including those between words. Use "Merge consecutive spaces" instead to keep word separation.

Will my text be uploaded to a server?

No. All processing is done locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or saved.

Can it process program code?

Be careful when cleaning code. Removing line-start spaces may break indentation, and removing all spaces will break syntax.
