To remove line breaks, paste your text into the Remove Line Breaks tool and choose to join lines into flowing paragraphs or flatten everything onto one line. It is ideal for text copied from PDFs or emails where every line ends with a hard break.
Follow along with the free Remove Line Breaks, which runs in your browser, or browse more tools in this category.
How to use the Remove Line Breaks
- Paste your text into the tool.
- Choose whether to unwrap lines into paragraphs or flatten everything to a single line.
- Check the result, especially where paragraphs should still be separated.
- Copy the cleaned text.
Worked example
Three lines from a PDF, “This is a”, “broken sentence”, “from a PDF.”, become “This is a broken sentence from a PDF.” once unwrapped.
Tips and common mistakes
- Unwrapping keeps blank lines between paragraphs so your structure survives.
- Flattening to one line suits data fields, spreadsheet cells and search boxes.
- Follow up with Remove Extra Spaces if the join leaves double spaces.
Frequently asked questions
What is a hard line break?
A line break inserted at the end of every line, common in PDFs and old emails, that splits sentences into pieces.
Will paragraphs be merged too?
Not in unwrap mode, which preserves blank-line paragraph breaks. Flatten mode joins everything.
Is it private?
Yes. The text stays in your browser.
