Remove Blank Lines from Text Online
Delete all empty and whitespace-only lines from text instantly.
What is Remove Blank Lines?
Removes all completely empty lines and (optionally) lines containing only whitespace from your text. Useful for cleaning up text copied from PDFs or web pages with excessive blank lines.
Common Use Cases
Cleaning text copied from PDFs with extra blank lines, normalising exported data, compacting multi-line content, and preparing text for systems that cannot handle blank lines.
How It Works
Splits text on newlines, filters out empty or whitespace-only lines, and rejoins the remaining lines.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between blank and empty lines?
An empty line has zero characters. A blank line may contain spaces or tabs but no visible characters. This tool removes both by default.
Can I remove only whitespace-only lines but keep truly empty lines?
Toggle modes to choose between removing strictly empty lines vs. any whitespace-only lines.
