πŸ—‘οΈ Blank Line Remover

Clean up blank lines in your text. Strip them out entirely, or collapse runs of consecutive blank lines down to one so paragraph breaks stay intact. Choose whether whitespace-only lines count as blank too.

1. When Blank Lines Become a Problem

Converting a Word document or Markdown file to plain text often leaves several blank lines between paragraphs. Excess blank lines in code hurt readability, and stray blank lines in CSV or list data can cause parsing errors. This tool cleans them up in one pass.

2. Remove All vs Collapse Consecutive

"Remove all blank lines" packs content tightly with no paragraph gaps at all. "Collapse consecutive blank lines" instead leaves exactly one blank line wherever there used to be several, keeping paragraph separation while trimming excessive spacing.

3. Handling Whitespace-Only Lines

A line that looks empty but actually contains a stray space or tab isn't a "blank line" by strict string comparison. Turning on "Treat whitespace-only lines as blank" makes those lines count too, so they get removed or collapsed along with truly empty ones.

Frequently asked questions

Is my text sent to a server?
No. Everything runs in your browser β€” this tool never calls a backend API.
I want to reduce spacing without removing it completely β€” how?
Choose the "Collapse consecutive blank lines" mode. It leaves a single blank line between paragraphs and removes the rest.
Does this also clean up tabs or repeated spaces within a line?
This tool only handles whole blank lines. For whitespace inside a line, pair it with the Remove Whitespace tool.
