Text copied from a PDF usually arrives with a line break at the end of every line, so it looks broken when you paste it into an email, a document or a form. This tool joins those lines back into proper sentences.
Paragraph breaks can be kept, repeated spaces collapsed, and empty or duplicate lines removed. The result updates as you type and can be copied with one click.
How to use
- Paste your text into the left box.
- Tick the clean-up options you want.
- Copy the cleaned text from the right box.

Frequently asked questions
Why does text from a PDF have so many line breaks?
PDFs store text line by line as it appears on the page, so copying keeps a break at the end of every visual line.
How do I turn everything into a single line?
Tick “Remove line breaks” and untick “Keep paragraph breaks”.
Is there a length limit?
No fixed limit. Very long texts depend on your device, but books-length chapters work fine on a computer.
