Clean up your text instantly. Our free tool removes unwanted extra spaces, double spaces, and leading/trailing spaces from your text. Just paste and copy.
Have you ever copied a chunk of text from a PDF, an email, or a website, and when you pasted it, something was just... off? Maybe there were strange gaps between words, or the lines just wouldn't align properly.
The culprit is often a collection of invisible troublemakers: extra spaces. Double spaces between words, leading spaces at the beginning of a line, or trailing spaces at the end can wreak havoc on your formatting, break your code, or cause errors in data entry. Finding and deleting them one by one is a tedious, frustrating task.
This simple utility is a secret weapon for anyone who works with text. It can:
Clean Up Copied Text: Instantly fix formatting issues when you copy text from PDFs, websites, or other documents.
Prevent Coding Errors: Extra spaces in code can cause scripts to fail or HTML to render incorrectly.
Prepare Data for Spreadsheets: Ensure clean data entry by removing leading/trailing spaces before pasting text into Excel or Google Sheets.
Fix Document Formatting: Quickly normalize the spacing in a document to give it a clean, professional look.
Fixing your text is as simple as copy and paste.

In the world of data and programming, removing leading and trailing spaces is known as a "trim" function. Before you import any user-submitted data into a database or spreadsheet, it's a best practice to "trim" it first. This prevents issues like having " John Smith" and "John Smith" being treated as two different entries.
