Remove zero width characters from text online

Text Cleaner is a text normaliser that can strip extra spaces, collapse consecutive whitespace, drop empty lines and remove all line breaks with one click. It quickly produces clean, readable text from scraped content, pasted PDFs or log output — an essential companion for document tidying, formatting and data pre-processing.

Step 1 — tick the cleaning rules you want to apply in the options area; any combination is allowed. Step 2 — paste the text you want to clean on the left. Step 3 — the right panel shows the cleaned result in real time so you can compare with the original. Step 4 — copy or download the result. The options mean: Trim leading/trailing whitespace on each line — clean up unwanted indentation from copied text; Collapse consecutive spaces — replace multiple consecutive spaces with a single one; Remove blank lines — remove lines that only contain whitespace; Remove all line breaks — force everything into a single paragraph.

Clean up documents copied from PDFs by removing broken line-endings and extra whitespace to produce readable paragraphs; process scraped web content to remove invisible whitespace; normalise formatting in academic writing; strip extra blank lines from a Markdown document before packaging; compress whitespace in log files for easier comparison; compact multi-line code or data for inclusion in a URL.

Space collapsing only handles the regular space and tab, not special Unicode whitespace such as non-breaking space (\u00A0). Line breaks are normalised to \n — \r\n in the input is normalised first. Trimming uses String.trim(), which removes tabs, newlines and other whitespace. "Remove all line breaks" replaces newlines with a space (rather than deleting them) so that adjacent words do not stick together.

All cleansing happens locally in your browser and the text is never uploaded, so it is safe to use with internal documents, legal documents or chat records.
