Remove Blank Lines
Paste any text with empty lines scattered through it, and this tool strips every blank line while keeping the rest exactly where it was. Choose whether whitespace-only lines should count as blank too.
Why This Tool Matters
You copy a document out of Word, Notepad++, or a code editor and it comes with extra blank lines piled up between paragraphs or blocks — sometimes one, sometimes five in a row, left over from someone's formatting habits or an export quirk. Deleting each one by hand means clicking into the text over and over, and it's easy to accidentally delete a line you actually wanted to keep. This tool strips every blank line in one pass, so you can paste tidy, consistent text straight into a CMS, a document, or a code file.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this remove blank lines between paragraphs I want to keep separate?+−
Yes — this tool removes every blank line, including the ones separating paragraphs, since it can’t tell which blank lines are intentional. If you need paragraph breaks preserved, keep a copy of your original text before running it through this tool.
What counts as a "blank" line — does a line with just a space count?+−
With "Also trim whitespace-only lines" on (the default), a line containing only spaces or tabs counts as blank and gets removed, same as a truly empty line. Turn that option off if you only want to remove lines that are completely empty.
Can I use this on code without breaking indentation?+−
Yes. This tool only removes lines that are entirely blank — it never touches the content or indentation of any line that has actual code on it, so your code’s structure stays intact.
Is there a limit to how much text I can paste?+−
No hard-coded limit. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so it comfortably handles anything from a short snippet to a full document.
