Remove whitespace
Strip all spaces and tabs from your text, optionally keeping line breaks.
Remove whitespace
Whitespace characters like spaces, tabs, newlines and other invisible characters can clutter text, take up file size or interfere with data processing. This free online tool removes all whitespace from your input instantly in your browser.
Paste any text and the whitespace remover strips away every space, tab, carriage return and newline by default. The result has all characters pushed together with no gaps. If you want to keep line breaks intact while removing only spaces and tabs from each line, toggle the "Keep line breaks" option — this is useful for cleaning up text columns or data entries that span multiple rows.
Use this tool to compress text for storage, prepare data for systems that are whitespace-sensitive, or clean up formatting issues in code or documents. The live tally shows exactly how many characters were removed and compares your input size to the output, helping you see the compression benefit immediately.
Why remove whitespace? Stripping spaces and tabs reduces file size, helps databases process data more efficiently, and removes unwanted formatting that can cause issues in web forms or data imports. Developers often use whitespace removal when minifying code or preparing configuration files.
Everything runs in your browser using pure JavaScript, so your text is never uploaded to any server. Copy the result, download it as a .txt file, or send it to another tool when you are done. The whitespace removal happens in real-time as you type, with instant feedback on how much space you are saving.
