What is an Online Text Formatter?

An online text formatter cleans up and reshapes text right in your browser. Paste your text, tick the options you need, and the formatted result appears instantly next to it. This one changes letter case, removes extra spaces and line breaks, trims lines, deletes duplicate lines, sorts lines, and lets you preview the result aligned left, center, right, or justified. Nothing is uploaded: the formatting runs on your device.

How Do I Clean Up Formatting From Copied Text?

Text copied from a PDF, a Word document, a web page, or an email often arrives messy. Lines break in the middle of sentences, words are separated by double spaces or tabs, lines start with stray indentation, and the same line can appear twice. To clean the formatting:

1. Paste the text into the Input Text box. The output updates as you go.
2. Fix broken lines from PDFs: tick Remove Line Breaks. Every line break becomes a space, so a paragraph that was split across short lines turns back into one flowing paragraph.
3. Collapse extra spaces: tick Remove Extra Whitespace. Every run of spaces, tabs, and line breaks becomes a single space, and spaces at the start and end are removed. The result is one clean block of text.
4. Keep your lines but tidy them: if you want to keep the line structure (for a list, for example), use Trim Lines instead. It strips spaces and tabs from the start and end of each line and leaves the line breaks alone.
5. Clean up lists: tick Remove Duplicate Lines to delete repeated lines, and Sort Lines to put them in alphabetical order.
6. Fix the case: use Uppercase, Lowercase, or Title Case if the source text was typed in the wrong case.
7. Copy the result with the Copy button and paste it where you need it.

Copying out of the output box gives you plain text, so fonts, colors, bold, and links from the original document are left behind. Note that the tool does not change punctuation: curly "smart" quotes, special dashes, and bullet symbols stay exactly as they were pasted.

Which Option Should I Use?

• Paragraph copied from a PDF with a break at the end of every line: Remove Line Breaks, or Remove Extra Whitespace if there are also double spaces.
• List of names or emails with stray spaces and repeats: Trim Lines plus Remove Duplicate Lines, and Sort Lines if you want it in order.
• Heading or title typed in all caps: Title Case or Lowercase.
• Text that needs to fit into a single form field: Remove Extra Whitespace.

Formatting Options Explained

• Uppercase: converts every letter to capitals.
• Lowercase: converts every letter to small letters.
• Title Case: capitalizes the first letter of every word and lowercases the rest.
• Remove Extra Whitespace: replaces every run of spaces, tabs, and line breaks with a single space and trims both ends.
• Remove Line Breaks: replaces each line break with a space.
• Remove Duplicate Lines: keeps the first copy of each line and deletes exact repeats.
• Trim Lines: removes leading and trailing spaces from every line.
• Sort Lines: sorts lines in alphabetical order. Capital letters sort before lowercase ones.
• Text Alignment: shows the output aligned left, center, right, or justified. Alignment changes how the preview looks; the copied text itself is plain text.

Below each box you can see the character, word, and line count, so you can compare the text before and after cleaning.
