About Line Break Remover

Line Break Remover cleans up unwanted line breaks from text copied from PDFs, emails, Word documents, or OCR output. Instead of manually deleting line breaks one by one, simply paste your text and get clean, flowing paragraphs instantly. Choose from three modes: remove all line breaks and join text with spaces, merge consecutive blank lines into one, or selectively remove empty lines while preserving paragraph structure. The tool handles all line break formats including LF (Unix/Mac), CR (old Mac), and CRLF (Windows), and shows statistics on how many lines were removed.

FAQ

What is the difference between the three modes?

'Remove All Line Breaks' removes all line breaks and joins text with spaces. 'Merge Multiple Line Breaks' converts 2+ consecutive line breaks into a single one. 'Remove Empty Lines Only' removes lines with only whitespace while keeping lines with text.

Which mode is best for PDF-copied text?

For PDFs, text often has line breaks in the middle of sentences, so 'Remove All Line Breaks' mode is usually best. If you need to preserve paragraphs, add line breaks manually after processing.

Can I use it with mixed Japanese and English text?

Yes, it works with Japanese, English, and other languages. The tool only targets line break characters, so it works regardless of the text language.

Does it handle different line break types (LF, CR, CRLF)?

Yes, it supports all line break formats: LF (Unix/Mac), CR (old Mac), and CRLF (Windows). Text copied from any environment will be processed correctly.

Is my text sent to any server?

No. Line break removal runs as JavaScript in your browser. Text data is not transmitted externally.
