Remove Empty Lines

Remove blank and whitespace-only lines from a block of text, instantly in your browser.

How to use the Remove Empty Lines

  1. Paste your text.
  2. Click Run to remove every blank or whitespace-only line.
  3. Copy the cleaned-up text.

How the Remove Empty Lines works

The tool splits your text into lines and drops any line that is empty or contains only spaces and tabs. All other lines are kept exactly as they were, in the same order, including their indentation.

It's useful for tidying text copied from PDFs, web pages and emails, and for cleaning up lists before deduplicating or sorting them.

Frequently asked questions

Is this tool free?
Yes. Remove empty lines at no cost, with no account required.
Are whitespace-only lines removed too?
Yes. Lines containing only spaces or tabs are treated as empty and removed.
Does my text leave my browser?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so your text is never sent to a server.
