FAQ
What common issues does trimming whitespace solve?
Text copied from PDFs, emails, or spreadsheets often contains unwanted leading/trailing indentation, excessive blank lines, or irregular tab spacing.
Can I choose to only remove specific types of whitespace?
Yes. You can independently configure trimming line starts, line ends, collapsing multiple consecutive spaces into a single space, or deleting empty lines.
Does the tool alter any non-whitespace content?
No. The clean-up is strictly scoped to whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, and newlines). Your actual words, letters, and punctuation remain unaltered.
