Frequently asked questions
How do I delete blank lines in text?
Paste your text into the box above. Every blank line is removed instantly and you can copy the compacted result with one click.
What is a whitespace-only line?
It is a line that looks empty but actually contains spaces or tabs. The checkbox option removes these lines too, since they often survive plain empty-line removal.
Will it change the order of my lines?
No. Only empty lines are deleted. The remaining lines keep their original order.
Can I also remove duplicate lines?
Yes, use the Remove Duplicate Lines tool for that. It pairs well with empty-line removal when cleaning lists.
Is this tool free?
Yes, it is free with no signup and no limits.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. The removal runs in your browser with JavaScript, so your text never leaves your device.
