Remove Empty Lines

Instantly remove empty or blank lines from your text using our free online Remove Empty Lines tool. Whether you're cleaning up code, lists, or raw data, this tool helps you eliminate unnecessary line breaks and blank spaces with just a click.

What Does This Tool Do?

The Remove Empty Lines tool analyzes your input text and deletes any lines that are completely empty or contain only whitespace (such as spaces or tabs). This improves readability, reduces noise, and prepares your text for processing, pasting, or formatting.

It’s an essential utility for coders, writers, and data handlers looking to clean up content before sharing, importing, or publishing.

Why Remove Empty Lines?

  • Cleaner Appearance: Unwanted blank lines often make content look messy or harder to read.
  • Efficient Formatting: Many systems misinterpret blank lines in structured data like CSV or JSON.
  • Reduce File Size: While small, removing excess lines can help with minimizing logs or config files.
  • Improve Workflow: Prevent errors when pasting text into spreadsheets, databases, or input forms.
  • Boost Code Quality: Developers can clean up unnecessary line breaks in scripts or logs.

  2. Click the “Remove Empty Lines” button.
  3. All blank lines (including those with only spaces or tabs) will be removed.
  4. Copy, download, or use the cleaned result as needed.

It works instantly in your browser and processes even large blocks of text quickly and securely.
