Text Trimmer

Text Trimmer removes unwanted whitespace from text with multiple targeted cleaning modes: trimming leading whitespace from the beginning of the string or each line, trailing whitespace from the end, collapsing multiple consecutive spaces into a single space, removing entirely blank lines, and normalizing mixed Windows CRLF and Unix LF line endings to a consistent format. These cleaning operations are essential when processing text pasted from web pages, PDF exports, Microsoft Word documents, or terminal output that contains irregular whitespace artifacts, indentation carried over from source formatting, or invisible non-breaking spaces.

How to Use

Paste your text into the input area and select the trimming operations you want to apply using the option checkboxes: trim leading whitespace, trim trailing whitespace, trim each line individually, collapse multiple consecutive spaces, remove blank lines, or normalize line endings. The cleaned output updates in real time as you toggle options. The character count before and after trimming is displayed so you can quantify how much whitespace was removed. Copy the cleaned text with one click for use in code, data pipelines, or document processing workflows.
