Remove empty lines

What does Remove Empty Lines do?

Remove Empty Lines tidies extra breaks copied from documents, sheets, forms or AI drafts. It deletes only lines that have no content after trimming, while retaining other line text, leading whitespace and relative order.

Blank-line rule

Line endings are normalized first. Any line containing only spaces, tabs or Unicode whitespace is removed. A line with visible content remains exactly as entered and keeps its relative position.

Paragraph-cleanup example

For first, a blank line, a spaces-only line, and second, the result is first and second. Intentional text indentation before second remains on that content line.

How to use

  1. Paste text containing extra blank lines.
  2. Remove empty lines and inspect the retained content lines.
  3. Copy the result back to your target document or platform.

Frequently asked questions

Will this merge paragraphs?

Yes. It removes every blank separator, so paragraphs become consecutive content lines. Use the social line-break formatter when paragraph spacing should remain.

Are lines with only spaces removed?

Yes. Lines made only of spaces, tabs or other whitespace characters are considered empty.

Will it remove indentation from content lines?

No. Any line with content is preserved exactly, including leading whitespace.
