FAQs
What is trailing whitespace?
Spaces or tabs at the end of a line. They are invisible but can cause noisy diffs in code and unexpected formatting in data.
Why remove empty lines?
Pasted text often contains stray blank lines that break lists and inflate line counts. Removing them gives you clean, compact output.
Does it change the words themselves?
No — only whitespace at the start and end of each line is touched. Spaces between words are left exactly as they are.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. All cleaning happens in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
