⚙️ How Space Normalization Works
Collapse Repeated Spaces
Identifies sequences of two or more adjacent horizontal whitespace characters and reduces them to a single clean space.
Tab Stop Conversion
Detects tab indentations (`\t`) and normalizes them into uniform single spacing across paragraph text.
Edge Trimming
Trims unused leading spaces at line starts and trailing spaces at line ends without breaking intentional line feeds.
Browser Execution
Operates entirely in-browser. Your text is processed locally and never leaves your computer.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
No. It preserves intentional line breaks and paragraphs while only removing horizontal extra spaces within lines.
PDF documents store text positionally rather than structurally, which often creates extra spaces or tab breaks when text is extracted to plain text formats.
