- Optional duplicate line removal keeps only the first version of each line.
- Optional empty line removal clears blank rows from copied notes and documents.
- Output updates live so you can preview the cleaned text instantly.
Use cases
Why PDFs and emails wreck your paragraphs
PDFs do not store paragraphs — they store the position of every line on a page. When you copy text out, each visual line becomes its own line of text, so a paragraph arrives as a dozen fragments. Plain-text email has the same problem for a different reason: RFC 5322 and long tradition wrap messages at about 72 characters, so forwarded messages arrive pre-broken with each line ending mid-sentence.
The result is text that cannot be reflowed. Paste it into a document and it keeps the old narrow column shape; paste it into a form and it may be rejected. Removing the line breaks restores a single continuous paragraph the destination can wrap for itself.
Removing breaks without destroying structure
The trap is that not all line breaks are noise. In a numbered list, an address block, or a poem, breaks carry meaning — flatten everything and you lose the structure entirely. Real paragraphs are usually separated by a blank line (two breaks in a row), while wrapped lines inside one paragraph have a single break. Keeping the doubles and removing the singles preserves paragraph structure while fixing the wrapping.
A second common trap is spacing: joining two lines without inserting a space produces "endof" instead of "end of", while joining lines that already end with a space produces doubles. The options here handle both cases. If you also want to drop the empty lines entirely, Remove Empty Lines does exactly that, and Text Cleaner combines the whole sequence.
