FAQ

Whitespace Cleaner removes extra spaces, converts tabs to spaces, trims line endings, and optionally removes empty lines, collapses line breaks into a single paragraph, and strips non-ASCII characters.
Yes. The 'Fix smart quotes' option converts curly quotes (''), curly double quotes ("" — the Unicode versions), em dashes (—), en dashes (–), and non-breaking spaces to standard ASCII equivalents.
Yes. Toggle the 'Remove empty lines' option to delete blank lines from your text.
No. All cleaning happens locally in your browser. Your text is not uploaded for supported browser-based workflows to any server.
Non-ASCII characters are symbols outside the standard ASCII range, including emojis, special Unicode punctuation, and accented letters. The 'Remove non-ASCII chars' option strips these to produce plain ASCII text.
