Remove Line Breaks
Join broken lines into clean paragraphs, with or without paragraph breaks.
Remove Line Breaks Online
Hard line breaks make text copied from PDFs, emails, and terminals hard to reuse. This tool removes them in one step and joins the lines back into clean, flowing text.
Options
- Replace with a space – the default. Lines are trimmed and joined with a single space, so you never get double spaces.
- Replace with nothing – join lines directly, useful for long URLs, Base64 strings, or hashes that were wrapped over several lines.
- Comma or semicolon – turn a vertical list into a single delimited line.
- Keep paragraph breaks – repair broken sentences but keep the blank line between paragraphs.
Why remove line breaks?
- Paste PDF text into Word, Google Docs, or a CMS without broken sentences.
- Prepare text for translation tools that treat each line as a separate segment.
- Compact multi-line values before pasting them into a spreadsheet cell or a form field.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does text copied from a PDF have line breaks everywhere?
PDFs store text line by line as it appears on the page. When you copy it, each visual line ends with a hard line break, so sentences are split in the middle. Removing the line breaks joins them back into normal paragraphs.
What does 'Keep paragraph breaks' do?
It only joins lines inside a paragraph. Blank lines between paragraphs are preserved, so your text keeps its structure while broken sentences are repaired.
Can I turn a list into a comma-separated line?
Yes. Choose 'Comma' in the 'Replace line breaks with' option and every line will be joined with a comma and a space. For more separators, use the Multiline to Single Line tool.
