Remove Blank Lines
Paste text and instantly remove all blank lines — both completely empty lines and lines that contain only spaces or tabs. The tool shows how many lines were removed so you can verify the cleanup.
This is useful for cleaning up code, log files, data exports, and any text where extra blank lines add clutter without adding meaning. Whitespace-only lines are caught too, so invisible spacing characters don't slip through.
Everything runs in your browser — your text is never sent anywhere.

Frequently asked questions
Does this remove lines with spaces or tabs on them?▼
Yes — a line that contains only whitespace (spaces, tabs) is treated as blank and removed. Only lines with at least one visible character are kept.
Will this collapse multiple blank lines into one?▼
No — this tool removes all blank lines entirely. If you want to collapse runs of blank lines into a single blank line instead, use the Text Cleaner tool's extra-whitespace option.
Can I use this to clean up code formatting?▼
Yes — it's great for removing excessive blank lines from code. Just paste the code, remove the blanks, and copy the result. Indentation and code content are untouched; only empty lines are stripped.
