Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as 'extra spaces'?

Extra spaces are multiple consecutive space characters. The tool reduces them to single spaces while preserving the text structure.

Will this affect line breaks?

No, the tool only processes spaces within lines. Line breaks and paragraph structure are preserved.

Can I add spaces to text without any spaces?

Yes! The 'Add spaces' mode will insert spaces at regular intervals even in text that has no existing spaces.

What happens to tabs and other whitespace?

The tool primarily handles space characters. Tabs and other whitespace characters are generally preserved unless they're part of irregular spacing patterns.

Is there an undo function?

The tool doesn't modify your original text. Your input remains unchanged, and the processed result appears in a separate output area.

Can I process very large amounts of text?
