How This Tool Works
The Text Cleaner tool processes your text through selected cleaning operations using advanced JavaScript text manipulation algorithms. When you select cleaning options and click the Clean Text button, the tool applies each selected operation in a specific order to ensure optimal results. The 'Remove Extra Spaces' operation uses regular expressions to find and replace multiple consecutive spaces with single spaces while preserving intentional line breaks and paragraph structure. The 'Remove Extra Line Breaks' feature identifies sequences of multiple blank lines and reduces them to single blank lines, maintaining paragraph separation without excessive whitespace. The 'Trim Lines' operation processes each line individually, removing leading and trailing whitespace characters including spaces, tabs, and other invisible characters while leaving internal spacing unchanged. The 'Remove Duplicate Lines' function maintains a set of unique lines, keeping the first occurrence of each line and discarding subsequent duplicates while preserving the original order. The 'Convert Tabs to Spaces' operation replaces all tab characters with spaces, typically using a configurable number of spaces per tab for consistent formatting. The 'Remove Empty Lines' feature completely eliminates all lines that contain only whitespace characters, compacting the text into continuous blocks. All processing happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript, ensuring instant results regardless of text length and complete privacy since your text never leaves your device. The tool provides real-time statistics showing original character count, cleaned character count, and the number of characters removed, helping you verify the cleaning results and understand the impact of each operation. This combination of powerful cleaning operations, customizable options, instant processing, and complete privacy makes it the perfect solution for any text cleanup task.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool save or store my text anywhere?
No, absolutely not. All text cleaning happens entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device, nothing is uploaded or stored anywhere, and no one except you can see your content. This makes the tool completely safe for sensitive or confidential text.
What exactly does "Remove Extra Spaces" do?
It replaces multiple consecutive spaces with a single space throughout your text, while preserving line breaks and paragraph structure. This is useful for cleaning text copied from PDFs or web pages where spacing often gets corrupted, resulting in words with extra spaces between them.
What's the difference between "Remove Extra Line Breaks" and "Remove Empty Lines"?
"Remove Extra Line Breaks" converts multiple consecutive blank lines into a single blank line, maintaining paragraph separation but reducing excessive whitespace. "Remove Empty Lines" completely deletes all blank lines, putting all text into continuous blocks. Use the first for cleaner formatting, the second for maximum compaction.
What does "Trim Lines" do differently from "Remove Extra Spaces"?
"Trim Lines" removes spaces and whitespace only at the beginning and end of each line, leaving internal spacing untouched. "Remove Extra Spaces" removes multiple consecutive spaces anywhere within a line. Trim is useful for fixing indentation issues, while Remove Extra Spaces fixes internal word spacing.
Will "Remove Duplicate Lines" change the order of my text?
No. The tool keeps the first occurrence of each line and removes subsequent duplicates, preserving your original order. This is important for maintaining context in lists, code, or any content where line order matters.
