Remove Empty Lines

The Remove Empty Lines tool strips blank lines out of any block of text so your content is compact and consistent.

Text copied from PDFs, spreadsheets, chat logs or code editors often arrives padded with stray blank rows, and those gaps make lists harder to read and data harder to process.

Paste your text here and the empty lines vanish, leaving the real content tightly stacked.

Two removal modes cover the common cases.

The default removes lines that are empty as well as lines that look empty but actually hold spaces or tabs — the invisible whitespace that breaks many tools.

The stricter mode removes only lines with zero characters, leaving indentation and spacer rows intact.

You can also switch on "collapse" to keep one blank line between paragraphs while flattening longer runs of blanks, which tidies spacing without destroying structure, and an option to trim trailing whitespace from every line you keep.

A live counter reports exactly how many lines were dropped.

All processing happens locally in your browser.

Your text is never uploaded, logged or stored on a server, so it is safe for confidential notes and private data, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
