Text Minifier
Compress text by removing all unnecessary whitespace.
Text Minifier
Compress plain text by removing all unnecessary whitespace. The minifier collapses runs of spaces and tabs, removes line breaks and blank lines, and trims the ends – producing the most compact version of your text.
Why minify text?
- Character limits – fit more content into SMS, meta descriptions, form fields, or API payloads.
- Clean data – normalize whitespace before comparing or storing strings.
- Smaller files – reduce the size of text exports and logs.
- Prompt and token budgets – remove wasted whitespace before sending text to AI models.
Options
By default everything becomes a single line. Turn on Keep line breaks to preserve one line per item while still removing extra spaces and empty lines. The tool also shows how many characters you saved.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does text minification do?
It removes every character that doesn't change the meaning of the text: repeated spaces, tabs, line breaks, and leading or trailing whitespace. The words themselves are never changed.
Can I keep the line structure?
Yes. Enable 'Keep line breaks' to collapse spaces inside each line and remove blank lines while keeping one item per line.
Should I use this for HTML, CSS, or JavaScript?
For code, use a language-specific minifier, because whitespace can be meaningful (for example inside <pre> tags or strings). Dedicated HTML, CSS, and JS minifiers are coming in the Formatters category.
