Fix Paragraph Spacing
Standardize gaps between paragraphs, fix messy indentation, and clean up document formatting instantly.
What is Fix Paragraph Spacing?
Inconsistent spacing is the hallmark of messy formatting. Whether you're compiling a report from multiple sources, fixing a student essay, or trying to make a copy-pasted email look professional, random gaps between paragraphs can ruin the presentation. The Fix Paragraph Spacing tool is your layout normalizer. It analyzes your text structure, identifies distinct paragraphs, and enforces a uniform, professional spacing standard throughout the entire document—instantly turning chaos into order.
Master Your Document Layout

Bloggers and editors know that consistency is key. Ensure every section of your article has exactly one blank line between it, eliminating the "wall of text" effect.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this tool actually do?
It takes messy text where paragraphs are separated by random amounts of space (1 line, 3 lines, etc.) and enforces a single, consistent gap between them.
Can I remove indentation from copied text?
Yes! Select 'Remove All' in the Indentation options. This will strip any tabs or spaces from the beginning of every paragraph.
How do I create double-spaced paragraphs?
Choose the 'Wide (2 lines)' option in the Paragraph Spacing setting. This inserts two blank lines between each paragraph block.
Will this fix text pasted from a PDF?
It helps significantly. It can normalize the gaps between sections, though if sentences are broken in the middle, you might need our Remove Line Breaks tool first.
What is 'Trim Text'?
This option cleans up invisible whitespace characters from the end of each paragraph, ensuring your file size is optimized.
Can I add indentation to plain text?
Yes. Select 'Add Indent (4 ch)' to automatically insert 4 spaces at the start of every detected paragraph.
Is my document private?
100% private. The formatting logic runs entirely in your web browser. Nothing is sent to our servers.
Does it support markdown?
Yes, it works perfectly with Markdown files (.md), preserving your bold/italic syntax while fixing the vertical spacing structure.
What is 'Single' spacing?
'Single' spacing means there are NO blank lines between paragraphs. They are separated only by a single line break.
Can I upload a Word document?
Currently we support text-based files like .txt and .md. For Word docs, we recommend copy-pasting the text into the tool.
