How to use
- Paste text into Input (or use Copy example to input).
- Choose a Mode:
- Remove all line breaks — single unbroken paragraph.
- Keep paragraphs — merge single newlines, preserve blank lines as paragraph breaks.
- Fix wrapped text (smart) — remove newlines that look like hard wraps while keeping sentence/paragraph boundaries.
- Toggle options (preserve lists/quotes, de-hyphenate, collapse spaces, trim).
- Click Convert → copy from Output.
Scope: This tool cleans plain text only. It won’t read PDFs/Word files directly—copy/paste their text first. Works in any language; “Fix Wrapped” heuristics are optimized for Latin-script punctuation.
FAQ
What does “Fix Wrapped Text” do?
It detects line breaks that were inserted by narrow page widths and removes them, while keeping paragraph breaks and line breaks after sentence-ending punctuation like ., !, ?, :.
Can I keep bullet and numbered lists intact?
Yes. Turn on Preserve lists to keep lines starting with -, •, *, or a number + dot on their own lines.
Will it remove hyphenation at line wraps?
Enable De-hyphenate soft wraps to join words ending with a trailing hyphen at line end (e.g., “increas-
ing” → “increasing”).
Does it change punctuation or quotes?
No punctuation is rewritten. With Collapse spaces, spaces are normalized (multiple → single). Quotes are preserved.
What about lists and bullet points?
If your content containslists, use the preserve lists option(when available) to keep each item on a new line while still unwrapping regular sentences.
Is my text stored?
No. The tool runs locally in your browser—nothing is uploaded.
Made for FATAIM Tools. Tip: Use Keep paragraphs for emails/blogs; use Fix wrapped for copied PDFs; use Remove all for inline meta/SEO fields.
Why remove line breaks or “fix wrapped text”?
When text is copied from PDFs, emails, or columns in a spreadsheet, it often contains hard returns or soft wraps that break sentences mid-line. This makes content harder to read, search, and analyze. Removing unintended line breaks produces a single, clean paragraph while preserving punctuation and intentional paragraph spacing. The result is easier to paste into a CMS, turn into an SEO-friendly meta description, or convert to a clean slug after additional processing.
What this tool does
- Unwraps soft wraps: joins lines that end prematurely so sentences flow naturally.
- Keeps real paragraphs: multiple consecutive line breaks are preserved as paragraph gaps.
- De-hyphenates soft hyphens: removes break-hyphens so “wrap-ped” becomes “wrapped”.
- Normalizes spacing: trims extra spaces around joins to avoid doubled spaces.
- Blog & SEO: turn a copied excerpt into a single, clean paragraph for summaries and meta descriptions.
- Email to Docs: remove hard breaks from emails before publishing or archiving.
- PDF clean-up: fix wrapped sentences copied from column layouts in PDFs.
- Data prep: normalize product descriptions or notes before importing to spreadsheets or forms.
Common use cases
Examples
Before:
This paragraph wraps mid- word and breaks every few words but should read as one line.
After:
This paragraph wraps midword and breaks every few words but should read as one line.
Tips for best results
- If you see hyphenated splits like “hyphen-\nbreaks”, enable De-hyphenate.
- To keep paragraphs, make sure there is a blank line between them before converting.
- Cleaning lists? Run this first, then use Remove Duplicate Lines or Alphabetize if needed.

- Keep paragraphs: blank lines stay, so real paragraph breaks are preserved.
- De-hyphenate: removes line-end hyphens like
hyphen-\nbreaks→hyphenbreaks. - Preserve lists: (if enabled) items remain one per line; only normal sentences unwrap.
Which tool should I use?
Remove Line Breaks
What it does: Unwraps soft wraps so sentences flow; keeps real paragraphs.
Best for: Text copied from PDFs, emails, columns.
Keeps: Punctuation, double-break paragraphs (optional lists).
Example: wraps mid- →
wordwraps midword
Extras: De-hyphenate, normalize spaces.
Remove Accents
What it does: Normalizes diacritics to ASCII (é → e, ł → l).
Best for: SEO slugs, file names, analytics tags.
Keeps: Words, punctuation, whitespace exactly as typed.
Example: naïve, façade → naive, facade
Extras: Great pre-step before slugify/lowercase rules.
Remove Duplicates
What it does: Deduplicates identical lines; keeps the first match.
Best for: Tags, CSV lines, checklists, merged notes.
Keeps: Original order of unique items (case/space aware).
Example: alpha →
beta
alphaalpha
beta
Extras: Pair with Alphabetize if you need sorting.
When to combine these tools
For messy copy (PDFs, emails, CSV notes), a quick pipeline gives best results: Remove Line Breaks (unwrap + de-hyphenate) → Remove Accents (ASCII normalize) → Remove Duplicates (unique lines) → Alphabetize (optional sorting). This keeps paragraphs or lists intact, prevents mid-word breaks, standardizes characters for slugs/URLs, and leaves you with clean, deduped text ready for publishing or import.
