When you need this
Text copied from a PDF, an old email or a terminal usually has a hard line break at the end of every line. When you paste it into Word, WhatsApp or a web form, the lines break in the wrong places. This tool joins the lines back into proper paragraphs.
- Keep paragraphs: blank lines between paragraphs are kept, and only single line breaks inside a paragraph are joined.
- Fix hyphenated words: joins words such as “calcu-
lator” that were split across two lines. - Replace with: a space (default), nothing, a comma, or any text you choose. This is handy for turning a column of values into a comma-separated list.
Frequently asked questions
How do I turn a list into comma-separated values?
Paste the list, set “Replace with” to “Comma + space”, and untick “Keep paragraph breaks”. Each line becomes one item in a single comma-separated line.
Will it remove spaces too?
Only the extra spaces created by joining lines are tidied up. Use the Remove Extra Spaces tool for more cleaning.
