Line Break Remover: Cleaning Up Pasted Text
Text copied from PDFs, emails, or web pages often comes with random line breaks where they shouldn't be. Removing them so paragraphs flow correctly is one of those tiny but constantly-needed cleanup tasks.
Many sources hard-wrap text at column boundaries β PDFs especially. When you paste into a flowing layout, those breaks become visible mid-sentence. Removing single line breaks while preserving paragraph breaks (double newlines) restores readable flow.
Common cleanup modes
- β’Remove all line breaks (good for getting raw text into a single line)
- β’Remove single line breaks but keep paragraph breaks (most common case)
- β’Replace line breaks with a custom separator (e.g., comma)
- β’Trim trailing whitespace on each line before joining
Extended FAQ
What's the difference between \n, \r\n, and \r?
\n is Unix newline; \r\n is Windows; \r alone is old Mac. Most modern tools handle all three transparently. EllyTools normalizes them.
