Frequently asked questions
Does it remove whitespace-only lines too?
Yes. Lines that contain only spaces or tabs count as empty and are removed, the same as fully blank lines.
What does collapse to a single blank line do?
Instead of removing every blank line, it keeps one blank line between blocks of text, so paragraph breaks are preserved while extra gaps are squashed.
Will the order of my lines change?
No. The remaining content lines stay in their original order. Only the blank lines are removed.
Does it handle Windows and Mac line endings?
Yes. CRLF, CR and LF line endings are all recognized, and the output uses standard newline characters.
Is my text private?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded to a server.
