Questions about remove line breaks
Can I keep the paragraphs?
Yes. The "Keep paragraph breaks" option joins lines inside a paragraph but leaves blank lines between paragraphs.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Everything happens in your browser.
Why do PDFs add breaks?
PDFs often store a line break at the end of every visible line, which this tool removes.
Cleaning up pasted text
Text copied from a PDF, a scanned document or an email often has a line break at the end of every visible line, which makes it hard to paste into a document or a form. Choose to replace each break with a space for normal reading, or remove them completely for text that should run together.
Turn on Keep paragraph breaks to join the lines inside each paragraph while leaving the blank lines between paragraphs, which is usually what you want for an article or a letter.
Things to check afterwards
A word that was split with a hyphen at the end of a line may come out as two parts with a hyphen between them, so search for hyphens and fix them. Lists and tables lose their line-by-line layout when you join them, so only run the tool on running text. The cleaning happens in your browser and the text is not uploaded.
