Remove Line Breaks
Strip line breaks out of text to collapse it into one continuous paragraph.
About the Remove Line Breaks tool
When you copy text out of a PDF, an email, or a code editor, it often arrives broken into many short lines with a hard return at the end of each. This tool removes those line breaks, both the carriage return and newline characters, and joins the fragments back into one flowing paragraph. The most common job it does is fixing text that was hard-wrapped to a narrow column so it reflows cleanly when you paste it somewhere wider.
How to use it
- Paste your broken-up text into the input area.
- The single-paragraph version appears in the output.
- Copy the cleaned text into your document or form.
A practical tip: this tool joins lines and tidies the spacing where lines meet so you do not end up with words stuck together or double spaces. If you actually want to keep paragraph breaks but only remove the within-paragraph wraps, review the result and re-add the breaks you want. Because everything is processed in your browser, none of your text is sent anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a line break and a paragraph break?
A line break is a single newline that wraps text to the next line, while a paragraph break is usually a blank line between blocks. This tool removes the newline characters to merge lines into one continuous run of text.
Will removing line breaks leave words stuck together?
No. Where two lines join, the tool keeps a single space so words stay separated and you do not get extra double spaces.
Does it handle both Windows and Unix line endings?
Yes. It removes carriage return and newline characters, so text copied from Windows, Mac, or Unix sources is all collapsed the same way.
Is my pasted text uploaded anywhere?
No. The cleanup runs locally in your browser, so the text you paste never leaves your computer.
