Features
4 Removal Modes
- Remove All joins every line.
- Keep Paragraphs removes single line breaks but keeps double ones.
- Collapse Blanks reduces multiple blanks to one.
- Join With Custom uses your own joiner character.
Visualize Mode
Switch to Visualize to see exactly where each line break was — removed breaks shown as struck-through red markers, kept breaks as blue markers, and custom join characters in green.
Custom Join Character
Choose what replaces each removed line break — space, nothing, comma, pipe, dash, or any custom string. Presets make it one-click for common use cases.
Change Log
A detailed log shows every operation performed — how many breaks were removed, how many blanks were collapsed, and what trim operations were applied.
All Languages + RTL/LTR
Works on Arabic, English, Chinese, Japanese, Hebrew, and all other scripts. RTL/LTR toggle adapts both the input and output panels for correct reading direction.
Real-time Processing
All changes — text, mode, join character, or options — update the output instantly as you type with no button needed. Switch modes with a single click.
