Remove Line Breaks

Text copied from a PDF, an email, or a code editor often carries hard line breaks inserted at arbitrary positions — mid-sentence, mid-word, wherever the original layout happened to wrap. This strips those breaks out and turns the fragments back into a single flowing block, or joins them with a separator of your choice if you're building a comma-separated list, a pipe-delimited value, or something similar.

Paste your text on the left, choose how the lines should be joined, and the result appears instantly on the right — ready to copy, download, or share.

How does this tool join my lines?

Every line break in your pasted text becomes a join point. Pick "Nothing" to concatenate lines directly with no separator at all — useful when your original lines already end in a trailing space, so words don't run together. Or pick a Space, Comma, Comma + space, Pipe, or type your own separator under "Custom" for anything else, like a semicolon or an arrow.

What do "Remove blank lines" and "Remove duplicate lines" do?

Remove blank lines drops any line that's empty or contains only whitespace before joining, so you don't end up with an awkward double separator where a blank line used to be. Remove duplicate lines keeps only the first occurrence of each line — comparison trims leading and trailing whitespace and is case-sensitive, so "Apple" and "apple" are treated as different lines, but "Apple" and " Apple " are treated as the same one.

Why would I want to remove line breaks?

Pasting a paragraph copied from a PDF often leaves every line ending in a hard break, which looks broken once it's reflowed somewhere else — a CMS field, a text message, a search box. Joining the lines back into one paragraph fixes that instantly. The separator-and-dedupe options are also handy for turning a plain list — usernames, tags, CSV values — into a single delimited line ready to paste into a spreadsheet or script.
