Remove Line Breaks - Clean Up Text Formatting Instantly

Line breaks can cause formatting issues when copying text between different applications. They may appear when copying from sources like PDFs, emails, websites, or word processors. Our tool helps normalize text formatting by removing these unwanted line breaks, making the text flow naturally again for pasting into documents, emails, or content management systems.

When you remove all line breaks, every new line in the text is combined into a continuous flow without any separation. When preserving paragraphs, the tool only removes single line breaks (\n) while keeping paragraph breaks (double line breaks: \n\n) intact. This allows you to maintain the document's structure while fixing the unwanted line breaks within paragraphs.

• Remove all line breaks: Combines all text into one continuous paragraph
• Preserve paragraphs: Keeps paragraph separation but removes breaks within paragraphs
• Replace with custom character: Substitutes line breaks with your specified character

Yes! By using the 'Replace line breaks with custom character' option and entering a comma followed by a space (, ) as your replacement character, you can quickly convert a line-by-line list into a comma-separated list. This is particularly useful for creating lists for spreadsheets, database imports, or formatted content.

PDFs store text with fixed positions rather than flowing text. When you copy content from a PDF, each line is typically ended with a hard line break, regardless of whether it's actually the end of a paragraph. This is especially common in multi-column documents, scientific papers, or documents with complex layouts. Our tool helps restore the natural flow of the text by removing these artificial line breaks.

The best approach is to use the 'Preserve paragraph breaks' option, which will keep double line breaks (paragraphs) while removing single line breaks. For more specific needs, you might need to:

• First remove all line breaks
• Then strategically add back paragraph breaks where needed
• Or use the find/replace function in your document editor after processing

Yes, our line break removal tool works with any language character set, including non-Latin scripts like Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Cyrillic. The line break characters are universal regardless of the language content. The tool focuses on the line break characters themselves, not the actual text content, so it's fully language-independent.
