How to remove line breaks
- Paste your text into the box.
- Choose what each break becomes under Replace each break with. A space is right for normal prose.
- Turn on Keep paragraph breaks if you want blank lines between paragraphs to stay.
- Copy the result, or download it as a text file.
What it does
Text copied from a PDF often has a hard line break at the end of each line. That makes it hard to paste into a form, a message or a document. This tool joins those lines into one block. Spaces next to a break are tidied, and several breaks in a row become a single replacement, so you do not end up with double spaces.
With Keep paragraph breaks on, a blank line is treated as the end of a paragraph. Lines inside each paragraph are joined, and paragraphs are separated by one blank line.
Choose A comma and a space to turn a list of items into a single comma-separated line. Choose Nothing to glue lines together, for example when a long code or number was split over several lines.
The Line breaks removed tile tells you how many breaks were changed.
Tips
- Check the result for double spaces. Remove extra spaces fixes any that are left.
- Got a list with repeated entries? Run remove duplicate lines before you join it into one line.
- To split text the other way, use find and replace to turn a separator into a line break.
- Check the new length with the word counter.
Good to know
Some text has no real line breaks at all and only looks wrapped because the app wraps it for you. This tool can only remove breaks that exist. If lines still look split after you use it, the wrapping is done by the box you are pasting into, and it will adjust when you resize it. Bulleted lists will be merged into one line unless each item has a blank line before it.
