A blank line remover is a free online tool that deletes empty lines from text. Remove every blank line at once, or keep at most one between paragraphs to preserve readable spacing, with a count of exactly how many lines were removed.
Cleaned text
How do I remove empty lines from text?
Short answer: Paste your text into the blank line remover and choose delete all blank lines. The tool scans every line, drops the empty ones, and shows the cleaned text instantly with a count of removed lines. It handles text from web pages, spreadsheets and PDFs, where stray empty lines are common after pasting.
Spreadsheet exports and web copy are the most common sources of stray blank lines.
How do I keep only one blank line between paragraphs?
Short answer: Select the keep at most one blank line mode. Instead of deleting every empty line, the tool collapses each run of consecutive blank lines down to a single one. Your paragraphs stay separated and readable, while the double and triple spacing that makes documents look sloppy disappears completely.
This mode is ideal for cleaning documents you plan to keep editing.
Why does pasted text have so many blank lines?
Short answer: Web pages add vertical spacing with empty paragraphs, spreadsheets export blank rows, and PDFs insert blank lines between blocks. Copying preserves all of them. Removing blank lines compresses the text back to a clean list or document, and the keep-one mode is ideal when you want breathing room without the mess.
Email signatures and footers are another classic source of stacked blank lines.
Frequently asked questions
How do I delete all empty lines in a text?
Paste your text and choose delete all blank lines. Every empty line is removed in one pass and the remaining lines move up together. The result note tells you exactly how many lines were deleted.
Can I keep single blank lines between paragraphs?
Yes. Choose keep at most one blank line instead of deleting all. Runs of two or more empty lines collapse to a single blank line, so paragraphs stay visually separated without the excess spacing.
Are lines with only spaces treated as blank?
Yes, by default. The treat whitespace-only lines as blank option is on, so lines containing just spaces or tabs are removed too. Untick it if you need to preserve those lines exactly as they are.
Will it join my paragraphs together?
Only in delete-all mode, where blank lines disappear and paragraphs become adjacent lines. If you want paragraphs merged into flowing sentences instead, use the paragraph joiner tool.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The cleanup runs entirely in your browser, so your text stays private.
