Removes duplicate spaces, tabs and leading/trailing spaces, perfect for cleaning text copied from PDFs and documents.
How to remove extra spaces from a text
Duplicate spaces, tabs, and spaces at the start or end of lines make text look messy. The UtilNexo tool cleans all of this in real time, turning several consecutive spaces into one.
The cleanup converts sequences of two or more spaces into a single space, removes spaces at the start and end of each line, and normalizes tabs into simple spaces. The result is a more uniform, professional text.
This is especially useful for content pasted from PDFs, emails, or spreadsheets, where formatting often inserts extra spaces and unnecessary tabs.
The tool does not change line breaks — to remove them or convert them into spaces, use the line-break removal tool. Everything happens locally in the browser.
Examples
- Text "Hello world! How are you?" → "Hello world! How are you?".
- Text with spaces at the start and end of a line → spaces removed and multiple internal spaces reduced to one.
Limitations
- The tool collapses all spaces, including ones that may be intentional, such as code indentation or manual column alignment.
- It does not remove line breaks; they are treated as line separators, not as spaces to be removed.
