Frequently Asked Questions — Remove Empty Lines
What counts as an empty line?
An empty line is a line that contains no characters at all, just a line break. A blank line may contain spaces or tabs but no visible characters. The tool can remove both types depending on your selected options.
Can I keep single blank lines between paragraphs?
Yes. Use the "Reduce to single blank line" option which collapses multiple consecutive empty lines into just one. This preserves paragraph separation while removing excessive whitespace.
Will this remove line breaks inside my paragraphs?
No. The tool only removes lines that are entirely empty or contain only whitespace. Lines with any visible text content are always preserved, so your paragraphs and content remain intact.
