Text Formatter

Text Formatter

Text Formatter supports text cleanup and normalization, including collapsing extra spaces, normalizing line breaks, removing empty lines, and reorganizing paragraphs for copied content and document cleanup.
Text Formatter

Quick Start

1
Paste the original text; medium-length plain content is supported
2
Choose options from Settings (top right); start with lossless options
3
Check the stats panel below (spaces, line breaks, character changes) to confirm the cleanup scope
4
Click “Format Text” to generate the result, review it, then copy over the original

Common Scenarios

Web copy cleanup

remove extra spaces/line breaks while keeping paragraphs

Forwarded emails

strip nested indentation and quote markers

Office paste

unify messy line endings from Word/PDF

API/log text

normalize field spacing and trailing blanks for diffing

Markdown pre‑cleanup

keep code block indentation to avoid layout issues

Cross‑platform newlines

fix CRLF/CR/LF mismatches across OS

Tables/lists prep

remove redundant blank lines before alignment

Pre‑export normalization

tidy spaces/newlines before submit/archive

Extended workflow

remove extra line breaks, whitespace cleaner, and copy paste cleaner can be handled in the same review flow, so you can verify results before copying or exporting.

Formatting Rules & Options

Whitespace merging vs trimming: merge consecutive spaces/tabs within lines; enable trimming cautiously to avoid removing indentation
Line ending normalization: convert CRLF/CR to LF for cross‑platform consistency
Empty line policy: compress extra blanks, remove all, or leave as‑is — start with Compress
Paragraph reorganization: join wrapped lines into single lines and separate paragraphs with blanks; changes structure, use carefully

Usage Advice

Web copy: if spacing/line breaks look messy, pair “Trim line spaces” with “Compress extra empty lines”; be cautious with paragraph reorg
Email conversations: copy the original first, enable options gradually, and monitor the stats
Document cleanup: pair with “Compress extra empty lines” to tidy text pasted from Word/PDF
Toggle gradually: apply lossless options first, then decide if structure-changing tools like paragraph reorg are necessary
Verify results: compare the stats panel or original text to ensure indentation and symbols remain intact

Limitations & Compatibility

Backup first: paragraph reorganization changes structure, so keep an original copy
Irreversible: formatting changes cannot be undone, store a fallback before applying
Preserve indentation: use “Trim line spaces” cautiously on code, tables, or lists
Large texts: very long inputs may slow the browser—process in chunks and save results promptly
