Remove Line Breaks
Strip line breaks from text, turn them into spaces, or keep paragraph breaks intact.
Free tool to remove line breaks
This tool removes unwanted line breaks from text. ProseTool's line break remover can turn line breaks into spaces, delete them completely, or rejoin wrapped lines while keeping your paragraph structure — instantly and entirely in your browser. It is the quickest way to fix text that copied with a hard return on every line.
Line breaks are invisible until they cause trouble. Text copied from PDFs, emails, and code editors often has a break at the end of every line, so pasting it into a document or form leaves it awkwardly chopped up. Removing those breaks restores smooth, flowing text.

The three modes explained
- Convert breaks to spaces — every line break becomes a single space, producing one continuous block of text.
- Remove breaks completely — line breaks are deleted with no replacement, joining lines directly.
- Preserve paragraphs — single line breaks inside a paragraph become spaces, while blank lines between paragraphs are kept.
Benefits of removing line breaks
Reflowing text saves you from manually deleting hundreds of stray breaks. It is essential when moving content between formats — from a PDF into a CMS, from an email into a spreadsheet, or from a code comment into documentation. The "preserve paragraphs" option is especially valuable because it fixes the line wrapping without destroying the structure that makes the text readable.
Everything happens locally, so there is no size limit and nothing you paste is ever uploaded. Clean a single quote or an entire chapter with the same instant result.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the three modes?
"Convert to spaces" replaces every line break with a single space, joining everything into flowing text. "Remove completely" deletes line breaks with no replacement, gluing lines directly together. "Preserve paragraphs" joins lines within a paragraph but keeps the blank line between paragraphs.
When should I preserve paragraphs?
Use that mode when you copy text from a PDF or email that has a hard line break at the end of every line. It rejoins each paragraph into a single flowing block while keeping the gaps between paragraphs intact.
Does it handle Windows and Mac line endings?
Yes. The tool normalises carriage returns and newlines, so text from Windows, Mac, and Unix sources is handled the same way.
Is the text processed privately?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser. No text is uploaded, stored, or shared.
