Trim a list without joining its records

For a list of product codes, trim each line but keep the line breaks. Removing line breaks joins separate records into one line. Check the output line count before pasting the result back into an Excel column.

Example

With the default options, trailing spaces are trimmed and repeated blank lines become one blank line. Records stay on separate lines unless you select “Remove line breaks.”

Good for

Tidy line breaks copied from PDFs or web pages, remove extra spaces from email drafts, or standardize blank lines.

Check that table or paragraph boundaries are retained. Cleaning does not proofread the content.

Favorites and language preferences are stored separately and may be lost when site data is cleared. Tool resets and site-data deletion do not delete files already downloaded to your device.
