FAQ
What does "keep paragraph breaks" do?
When checked, blank lines (real paragraph breaks) are preserved as paragraph breaks, while single line breaks within a paragraph — the kind PDFs and old documents insert at a fixed line width — get joined into a single line. Uncheck it to flatten everything into one continuous block.
Why does copied PDF text have broken lines in the first place?
A PDF (and some old word processors) hard-wraps text at a fixed line width for display — when you copy it, those visual line breaks come along as real line-break characters, even though they weren't meant to be permanent breaks.
Does this remove extra spaces too?
Yes — multiple consecutive spaces (which often appear after joining broken lines) are collapsed into a single space.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No — the cleanup happens entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
