Remove Line Breaks

Strip line breaks and join text with spaces, commas or nothing at all.

How Remove Line Breaks works

Remove every line break and rejoin text with a space, comma or nothing, optionally keeping paragraph breaks. Everything happens inside this page: the tool reads your input, runs the calculation or conversion locally, and hands the result back to you. Nothing is transmitted, because there is no backend to transmit it to.

That design choice is deliberate. Most free tool sites upload your files to a server, process them there, and quietly keep a copy. Toolcin cannot do that — the site is a set of static files. If your connection dropped the moment the page finished loading, every tool would still work.

Four ways to join the lines

Join with a space keeps the words separate, which is what you want for text copied out of a PDF where every line ends early. Join with a comma turns a list into a single comma-separated line. Join with nothing is for cases where the breaks were inserted inside words — hyphenated text copied from an email, for example.

Keep paragraph breaks only collapses single line breaks but leaves a blank line between paragraphs, which restores the structure of text pasted from a narrow column.

The trailing-space problem

Pasted text usually has a space at the end of each line. Joining without trimming produces double spaces everywhere, so the trim option is on by default and removes leading and trailing whitespace from each line before joining.

Windows line endings (\r\n) and Unix ones (\n) are both handled; the difference only shows up if you are counting bytes.

Joiner	Input	Output
Space	one\ntwo	one two
Comma	one\ntwo	one, two
Nothing	inter-\nnational	international
Paragraphs only	a\nb\n\nc	a b\n\nc

When not to remove breaks

Code, poetry, addresses and anything where the line break carries meaning. Joining a postal address produces a line that no one can mail. If the output will be pasted back into a document, check that paragraphs still end where they should.
