Text Formatter

Text Formatter – Clean Up and Format Text Online

Text copied from PDFs, emails, chat apps or web pages is rarely tidy: double spaces, random blank lines, spaces before commas, mixed bullet symbols. The text formatter fixes all of it in one pass. Paste your text, tick the clean-up steps you want, and copy the result.

What you can switch on or off

• Trim line edges removes spaces and tabs at the start and end of every line.
• Collapse repeated spaces turns runs of spaces into a single space.
• Merge blank lines reduces several empty lines in a row to one, keeping your paragraphs.
• Fix punctuation spacing removes spaces before commas, periods, question marks and closing brackets, and adds a space after them where it is missing ("Hi ,there" becomes "Hi, there"). Numbers like 3.5 and 1,000 are left alone.
• Normalize bullets converts •, ●, ▪, – and * list markers into a plain "-" so the list works in Markdown and plain text.
• Letter case applies sentence case, Title Case, lowercase or UPPERCASE.
• Wrap at breaks long lines at the width you set, useful for emails, commit messages and README files.

Typical uses

Prepare text for a CMS or an email, clean an OCR scan, make notes consistent before publishing, or normalise a copied list before pasting it into Markdown. The options are independent, so you can use the formatter just for wrapping or just for case changes.

Good to know

The formatter works on the text exactly as you pasted it and never sends it anywhere. If the structure of your text matters, such as code, poetry or tables, disable trimming and space collapsing first. For more specific edits, pair it with Remove Empty Lines or the Case Converter.
