Does it also remove leading and trailing whitespace on each line?

Yes, trimming happens at the start and end of each line in addition to collapsing repeated spaces within it.

Will it affect intentional formatting, like code indentation?

It's built for cleaning up incidental whitespace in regular text — for code, where indentation is meaningful, be cautious about running this on it since it would collapse intentional leading spaces.

Does it remove tabs as well as spaces?

Extra whitespace of various kinds, including tabs, is normalized as part of the cleanup.

Does Remove Extra Spaces upload my files to a server?

No. Remove Extra Spaces runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.

About this tool

Text copied from different sources — PDFs, web pages, other documents — often carries inconsistent spacing: doubled spaces, trailing whitespace, awkward gaps that don't show up visually but cause problems in code or exact-match comparisons. This tool collapses repeated spaces and trims whitespace from every line, cleaning up spacing inconsistencies you often can't even see just by looking at the text.
