Whitespace Cleaner

Frequently asked questions

What kinds of whitespace does this clean up?

It collapses repeated spaces, removes trailing spaces on each line, trims leading and trailing whitespace, and can flatten multiple blank lines into one. Stray tabs are also normalized.

Will it preserve intentional indentation in code?

The cleaner is designed for prose, so leading indentation may be flattened. For code, use a language-specific formatter instead to keep semantic indentation intact.

Does it remove invisible Unicode whitespace?

Common invisible characters like non-breaking spaces and zero-width spaces are normalized to regular spaces or stripped. For a detailed audit, the Invisible Character Finder shows exactly what is present.
