Remove Empty Lines
Strip empty and blank lines from your text. Optionally remove whitespace-only lines or reduce multiple consecutive empty lines to one.
How It Works
The Remove Empty Lines tool strips blank lines from your text, giving you cleaner, more compact output. It offers two modes of operation to suit different needs.
In Remove all mode, every empty line is removed, leaving only lines that contain actual content. This is ideal for compacting lists, log files, code, or any text where blank lines serve no purpose.
In Reduce mode, consecutive runs of two or more empty lines are collapsed down to a single empty line. This preserves paragraph-level spacing while eliminating excessive blank space. Use this when you want to keep some visual separation between sections but remove unnecessary gaps.
The whitespace-only lines option controls whether lines containing only spaces or tabs (but no visible characters) are treated as empty. When enabled, lines like " " (just spaces) are handled the same as truly empty lines. When disabled, only lines with zero characters are considered empty.

- Optional whitespace-only line detection
- Real-time line count statistics
- Preserves non-empty line content exactly as-is
