    Paste text that is broken into short lines, such as a paragraph copied from a PDF, an email or a terminal.

  2. 2

    Choose what replaces each line break

    Pick a space (the usual choice) or nothing. Turn on Keep paragraph breaks to leave blank-line gaps between paragraphs.

Built for copied text that arrives broken into lines

Text copied from PDFs, emails and terminals often comes with a hard line break at the end of every line. PixelTools joins it back together in your browser, with no upload and no account needed.

Text copied from a PDF

Fix the hard line break at the end of every line so a paragraph reads normally again.

Emails and documents

Clean up a forwarded or plain-text email whose lines were wrapped at a fixed width.

Long strings and lists

Join a wrapped key, token or list of values into a single line for a form field or a script.

Spreadsheet cells and forms

Prepare text for a field that does not accept multiple lines.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove line breaks from text?

+

Paste your text into the box above. Every line break is replaced with a space straight away, and you can copy the single-block result. No button to press.

Why does text copied from a PDF have line breaks in the middle of sentences?

+

A PDF stores text as separate lines that fit the page width, so copying it brings a hard line break at the end of every line. Joining the lines with a space restores normal paragraphs.

Can I remove line breaks but keep paragraphs?

+

Yes. Turn on Keep paragraph breaks. A blank line between two blocks of text is treated as a paragraph break and kept, while the single line breaks inside each paragraph are removed.

Should I replace line breaks with a space or with nothing?

+

Use a space for normal prose, so words do not run together. Use nothing when the lines were split mid-word or mid-string, for example a long code, token or number wrapped over several lines.

Does it handle Windows and Mac line endings?

+

Yes. It treats Windows (\r\n), Unix (\n), classic Mac (\r) and the Unicode line and paragraph separators as line breaks, so pasted text behaves the same wherever it came from.

Is my text uploaded anywhere?

+

No. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you paste is sent to a server.
