What is whitespace normalization?

Whitespace normalization is the process of standardizing spaces, tabs, and line breaks in text to ensure consistent formatting.

What does 'collapse spaces' mean?

Collapsing spaces means converting multiple consecutive spaces into a single space, which helps clean up messy formatting.

Will trimming remove all spaces?

No, trimming only removes leading (beginning) and trailing (end) whitespace from lines or text blocks, not spaces between words.

Can I convert tabs to spaces?

Yes! You can convert tabs to spaces with a customizable tab width (typically 2, 4, or 8 spaces per tab).

What about line breaks?

You can normalize line breaks to a consistent format (LF, CRLF, or CR) and optionally remove empty lines.

Will this affect my formatting?

The tool preserves your text content while normalizing whitespace. You can choose which normalization options to apply.

Can I process code files?

Yes, but be careful with code files as whitespace can be significant in some languages. Consider using a code formatter instead.

Does this work with Unicode spaces?

Yes, the tool handles various Unicode whitespace characters including non-breaking spaces, em spaces, and more.

Is my data stored?

No, all processing happens locally in your browser. Your data never leaves your device.

Is this tool free?

Yes, Whitespace Normalizer is completely free to use with no limits on text size or number of normalizations.
