Remove Line Breaks
Strip or normalize line breaks in pasted text.
About this tool
Text copied out of a PDF, an email client, or a terminal arrives with a line break at the end of every visual line rather than every paragraph. Paste it anywhere that wraps text itself and it comes out ragged.
This strips those hard breaks while keeping real paragraph breaks, so the text reflows properly wherever you put it next.
Common questions
Why does text from a PDF paste with broken lines?
A PDF stores where each line of text sits on the page, not where paragraphs begin and end. Copying it gives you one break per rendered line, which is meaningless once the text is reflowed at a different width.
Will this remove my paragraph breaks too?
No. A paragraph break is a blank line — two breaks in a row — so it can be preserved while single breaks inside a paragraph are collapsed to spaces.
What is the difference between CRLF and LF?
Windows ends lines with a carriage return plus line feed; macOS and Linux use line feed alone. Mixing them is why a file can look fine in one editor and show stray characters or one giant line in another.
