How It Works
Paste text copied from a PDF, email, or chat message. The tool removes single line breaks and joins text into flowing paragraphs. Choose between three modes:
- Replace with space — single line breaks become spaces; double line breaks (paragraph breaks) are preserved.
- Remove all (add space) — all line breaks are removed, but a space is added at each line end to prevent words from running together.
- Remove entirely — all line breaks are removed and text is joined together.
Handles Windows (CRLF), Unix (LF), and legacy Mac (CR) line endings.
Example
Sample Input (with line breaks)

Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I remove line breaks from copied text?
- Paste your text into the input box and the tool instantly removes line breaks. Choose "Replace with space" to turn single line breaks into spaces while keeping paragraph breaks, or "Remove entirely" to strip all line breaks.
- What's the difference between the three removal modes?
- "Replace with space" turns single line breaks into spaces and preserves double line breaks (paragraphs). "Remove all (add space)" removes every line break but adds a space at each line end to prevent words from running together. "Remove entirely" strips all line breaks and joins all text together — best for quickly merging everything into one block.
- Does it handle Windows and Mac line endings?
- Yes. The tool handles Windows (CRLF), Unix (LF), and legacy Mac (CR) line endings automatically — you don't need to worry about which format your source text uses.
- Will it keep my paragraph breaks?
- Yes, when using "Replace with space" mode. Single line breaks are converted to spaces, but double line breaks (blank lines between paragraphs) are preserved.
- Is my pasted text sent to a server?
- No. All text processing happens locally in your browser. Your content is never uploaded, stored, or shared — we never see it.
- Why does text copied from PDFs have broken line breaks?
- PDFs often insert a line break at the end of each visible line rather than at the end of each paragraph. When you copy text from a PDF, these line breaks carry over, making the text appear broken. This tool fixes that.
