Remove Line Breaks
A Remove Line Breaks tool strips newlines from text — joining everything into one line or removing only the empty lines — and can collapse repeated spaces and trim each line, all in your browser.
About Remove Line Breaks
Paste text that arrived with awkward hard-wrapping — from a PDF, an email, or a code block — and clean it up: remove every line break, drop only the blank lines, collapse runs of spaces and tabs, and trim whitespace from each line. Choose whether removed breaks are replaced with a space or nothing. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
Does it handle Windows and Mac line endings?
Yes. It normalizes CRLF (Windows), CR (classic Mac), and LF (Unix) line endings, so text from any source is cleaned consistently.
What's the difference between removing all breaks and removing empty lines?
Removing all breaks joins every line into one continuous line. Removing empty lines keeps your line structure but deletes the blank lines between paragraphs.
Will removing breaks merge words together?
Only if you choose to replace breaks with nothing. The default replaces each break with a space so words at line boundaries stay separated.
