About This Line Break Remover Tool

Our free online Line Break Remover tool helps fix text formatting issues by removing unwanted line breaks. It's perfect for cleaning up text copied from PDFs, emails, or other sources with broken line breaks at the end of each line, which often happens due to fixed-width formatting in the original document.

When you copy text from PDFs, emails, or certain websites, you often end up with awkward line breaks that make the text difficult to work with. This happens because the original document has a fixed width, and line breaks are inserted to fit that width. Our tool intelligently removes these unwanted line breaks while preserving the structure of your content.

Two Powerful Formatting Options:

  • Remove single line breaks (preserve paragraphs) - This option removes line breaks within paragraphs but keeps paragraph breaks intact. It's ideal for maintaining the original structure of your document while fixing line wrap issues. Perfect for reformatting text while keeping the original paragraph organization.
  • Remove ALL line breaks - This option removes all line breaks completely, converting your text into a single continuous paragraph. This is useful when you need to extract text for applications that handle their own text wrapping, or when you want to combine multiple lines into a single block of text.

Common Use Cases:

  • PDF Text Extraction - Clean up text copied from PDF documents that have fixed-width formatting and unwanted line breaks

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I get unwanted line breaks when copying text from PDFs?

PDFs often have fixed-width formatting where text is laid out to fit specific page dimensions. When you copy text from a PDF, these line breaks are preserved even though they're not needed in your destination format. Our tool removes these artificial line breaks while maintaining the actual paragraph structure.

What's the difference between the two removal options?

The "Remove single line breaks" option preserves paragraph structure by keeping double line breaks (paragraph breaks) intact while removing single line breaks. The "Remove ALL line breaks" option removes all line breaks completely, turning your text into one continuous paragraph.

Will this tool work with formatted text or HTML?

This tool is designed for plain text only. If you paste formatted text or HTML, it will be processed as plain text, and any formatting will be removed. For best results, ensure your input is plain text before processing.

Is there a limit to how much text I can process?

The tool can handle large amounts of text, but performance may vary depending on your device. For very large texts (over 100,000 characters), you might experience some slowdown. The tool processes all text locally in your browser.

How does the tool handle special characters and non-English text?

Our Line Break Remover fully supports Unicode characters and works with text in any language. Special characters, symbols, and non-Latin scripts are preserved during processing.
