# Free Remove Duplicate Spaces Tool Fix Text Formatting

### whitespace cleaning

Paste any text and instantly clean duplicate spaces, leading/trailing whitespace, extra blank lines, and tab characters. Supports all languages with RTL/LTR toggle.

## Features

### Duplicate Space Removal
Collapses any run of two or more consecutive spaces into a single space — instantly, regardless of how many extra spaces were added between words.

### Trim Line & Text Edges
Independently remove leading/trailing spaces from each line, or from the entire text block. Both options are individually toggleable for precise control.

### Extra Blank Lines
Collapses two or more consecutive blank lines into a single blank line — keeps natural paragraph breaks while removing excess vertical whitespace.

### Tabs to Spaces
Optionally convert tab characters (→) into single spaces. Essential for cleaning code snippets, CSV data, or text copied from spreadsheets.

### Visualize Mode
Switch to Visualize view to see every space as a visible symbol — duplicate spaces shown as struck-through markers, tabs as arrows, so no whitespace is hidden.

### All Languages & RTL/LTR
Works on Arabic, English, Chinese, Hebrew, Japanese, and every other script. Toggle RTL/LTR to set the correct reading direction for your language.
