What is Remove Line Breaks?
Dealing with broken text is a common headache. Whether you've copied a paragraph from a PDF that pasted as a thin column, or you're trying to reclaim a messy email chain, our Remove Line Breaks tool saves the day.

It's the fastest way to turn fragmented lines into a clean, readable block.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I fix text copied from a PDF?
Paste the text into the tool. Keep the separator as 'Space' and ensure 'Preserve Paragraphs' is checked. This will merge the broken lines within paragraphs while keeping the paragraph spacing intact.
Can I turn a list into a comma-separated string?
Yes! Select 'Comma' from the 'Join With' options. Your vertical list will instantly become a horizontal, comma-separated line (e.g., apple, banana, cherry).
What does 'Trim Whitespace' do?
When enabled, it removes any leading or trailing spaces from every line before joining them. This prevents double spaces (e.g., 'word word') which often happen when joining indented code or text.
Can I use a custom separator like a pipe (|)?
Absolutely. Choose the 'Custom' option and type ' | ' (or any other symbol). The tool will insert this exact string between every joined line.
Can I remove line breaks but keep paragraphs?
Yes, just check the 'Preserve Paragraphs' option. The tool detects blank lines (double newlines) and preserves them, only removing single line breaks within blocks of text.
Can I upload a file?
Yes, you can upload .txt, .log, or .csv files directly. The tool processes them instantly in your browser.
Is my text saved on your server?
No. All text processing happens locally in your web browser using JavaScript. Your data remains completely private.
Can I remove line breaks without adding spaces?
Yes. Select 'None' as the separator. This will concatenate lines directly (e.g., 'Line1' and 'Line2' become 'Line1Line2').
Is there a limit to how much text I can process?
There is no hard limit, but browser performance may vary with extremely large files (10MB+). For typical documents and code files, it is instant.
Can I download the result?
Yes, once your text is joined, simply click the 'Save' button to download the result as a text file.
