Remove Line Breaks & Extra Spaces

What is Remove Line Breaks & Extra Spaces?

A remove breaks tool (also called line break remover or text unwrapper) removes line breaks, carriage returns, and extra spaces from text, converting multi-line text into single continuous paragraph or joining lines as needed. Essential for cleaning text copied from PDFs (which often add erroneous line breaks mid-sentence), formatting content for word processors or CMSes, removing whitespace from code, preparing text for social media posts (which auto-format), cleaning email copy-paste artifacts, and fixing text formatting issues. Supports options for removing all breaks, replacing with spaces, or removing only single breaks while preserving paragraph breaks (double breaks).
