Free Text Trimmer
Leading spaces, trailing tabs and stray blank lines creep into every paste. This free trimmer strips whitespace from the edges of your text and each line — with an option to delete empty lines — and reports the before/after counts.
How to Use the Text Trimmer
- Paste your text with messy whitespace.
- Choose trim options.
- Click “Trim text”.
- Copy or download the tidy result.
Features
Trims the whole text plus optionally each line, removes empty lines on demand, and can strip trailing spaces while preserving indentation. Before/after character counts quantify the cleanup. All options combine in a single pass.
Benefits & Use Cases
Developers clean pasted code and logs before committing. Writers remove accidental indentation from copied quotes. Data cleaners normalize imports. Anyone pasting between apps eliminates invisible whitespace gremlins.
Tips
Use “trailing spaces only” when indentation matters (Python, YAML) — full line-trimming would destroy it. Empty-line removal is safe for prose but keep it off for poetry and addresses. Pair with Remove Extra Spaces for a complete whitespace cleanup.
Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, tick “Remove empty lines”.
Is my text uploaded?
No, trimming runs locally in your browser.
