About the Remove Line Breaks

Join lines into a single paragraph by replacing line breaks with a space, a comma or nothing. You can choose to keep paragraph breaks.

Join broken lines into clean paragraphs

Copy text from a PDF, an old email, a terminal or a subtitle file, and every line ends with a hard break, so pasting it into a document, form or CMS gives ugly, ragged text. Remove Line Breaks joins the lines back into proper paragraphs.

Example

The quick brown fox jumps
over the lazy dog. Pack my
box with five dozen liquor jugs.

How vexingly quick daft
zebras jump.

With Keep paragraphs enabled:

How vexingly quick daft zebras jump.

Frequently asked questions

Why does text from PDFs have line breaks everywhere?

PDFs store text as positioned lines, so copying produces a hard line break at the end of every visual line rather than only at paragraph ends.

What does 'Keep paragraphs' do?

Lines within a paragraph are joined, but blank lines between paragraphs are kept, so the paragraph structure survives.

When should I replace breaks with a comma?

When converting a list (one item per line) into a comma-separated line, e.g. for tags or email recipients.

Does it handle Windows line endings?

Yes. Both CRLF (Windows) and LF (macOS/Linux) line endings are handled.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. All text tools run locally in your browser.

Do these tools support Unicode?

Yes. They handle Unicode text, including emoji and accented characters.
