Remove Empty Lines strips blank lines out of your text — useful for cleaning up lists, code, or copy-pasted content full of stray gaps. By default it deletes every blank line entirely, but you can switch to collapsing instead, which turns any run of consecutive blank lines into a single one so paragraph spacing survives. Everything runs locally in your browser as you type; nothing you paste is ever sent to a server.
Paste or type your text
Drop your text into the input above. There's no minimum or maximum length.
Choose your options
Toggle "Treat whitespace as empty" to also catch lines that only contain spaces or tabs. Toggle "Collapse instead of remove" to shrink runs of blank lines down to one rather than deleting them all.
Copy the result
The cleaned text updates live below — use Copy result to grab it, or Clear to start over.
Removing deletes every blank line, joining paragraphs tightly together. Collapsing keeps paragraph spacing by turning any run of consecutive blank lines into exactly one blank line instead of deleting it.
Only if "Treat whitespace as empty" is on (the default). With it off, only truly zero-length lines are treated as empty.
No. All processing happens locally in your browser as you type. Your text is never uploaded, logged, or stored.
