Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as an "extra" space?
Two or more spaces or tabs in a row. When "Remove extra spaces" is ticked, each run like that becomes a single space.
Does removing blank lines keep one blank line between paragraphs?
No — when "Remove blank lines" is ticked, every blank line is removed, including the ones between paragraphs. Untick it to keep them.
Will this remove spaces at the very start or end of a line?
Only if you tick "Trim edges." It leaves spaces in the middle of the line alone.
Does it work with tabs?
Yes — a tab between words is treated the same as a space.
Is my text uploaded or stored anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, saved, or seen by anyone.
