Why this matters
Text copied from PDFs, emails or terminals often has line breaks in the wrong places. Pasting that into a document, CMS or chat message creates awkward line wrapping. Stripping breaks restores a single flowing paragraph that re-wraps naturally.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it preserve paragraph breaks?
Yes. A double newline (blank line) is kept as a paragraph separator. Only single line breaks inside a paragraph are removed.
Why does PDF copy have weird line breaks?
PDFs store text by visual position. When you copy, each visible line becomes a hard newline — even mid-sentence. This tool fixes that without losing structure.
What about hyphenated words split across lines?
We detect 'word-\nrest' patterns and rejoin them as 'wordrest'. Legitimate hyphenated compounds (state-of-the-art) are preserved.
Can I replace breaks with a custom character?
Yes — space, comma, pipe, or any separator. Handy for turning a column of values into a comma-separated list.
