What is an Empty Line Remover?

An Empty Line Remover (or blank line remover) is a tool that removes blank lines from text or source code. Empty lines — lines containing only whitespace or nothing — increase file size and can make code harder to navigate. Removing them results in cleaner, more compact output.

This tool offers three modes: Remove all strips every blank line, Collapse to one reduces multiple consecutive blank lines to a single one, and Trim removes only leading and trailing blank lines. All processing is instant and happens entirely in your browser.

How to Use

  1. Paste your text or code into the left textarea.
  2. Select a cleaning mode: remove all, collapse, or trim.
  3. The output updates instantly in the right textarea.
  4. Check the stats bar for lines removed and chars saved.
  5. Copy the result using the copy button or Download as a file.

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as an "empty line"?

Any line that is completely empty or contains only whitespace characters (spaces, tabs). These lines add file size without contributing meaning.

Is my data stored on a server?

No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device.

Which mode should I choose?

Remove all for maximum compression (production files, logs). Collapse to one for code readability (keep structural blank lines but avoid excessive spacing). Trim for cleaning up leading/trailing whitespace without affecting internal formatting.
