Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly counts as an 'extra' space?
An extra space is any sequence of two or more space or tab characters. This tool reduces these sequences to a single space character.
Will this tool affect my formatting?
By default, it normalizes horizontal and vertical spacing. You can use the checkboxes to toggle specific behaviors like 'Trim' or 'Remove Empty Lines' to control the final output precisely.
Is this safe for cleaning code?
Yes, but use caution with 'Collapse Spaces' in languages where indentation matters (like Python). It's generally great for SQL, HTML, and CSS cleanup.
Can I undo the space removal?
We recommend keeping a backup of your original text. Once the spaces are collapsed and the tool has processed the text, the original irregular spacing cannot be automatically restored.
