What does removing extra spaces do?

Removing extra spaces ensures consistent spacing throughout your text.

It replaces unnecessary whitespace caused by repeated space characters or tabs and keeps only a single space where appropriate.

Only spacing is modified — punctuation, words, and characters remain unchanged.

What characters are affected?

  • multiple consecutive spaces
  • tab characters
  • mixed spacing caused by copied formatting

Single, normal spaces between words are preserved to maintain correct sentence structure.

When should you remove extra spaces?

  • copying text from Word, Google Docs, or PDF files
  • pasting content from websites or emails
  • cleaning text before publishing or formatting
  • preparing text for coding or data processing
  • fixing inconsistent spacing caused by manual editing
