Remove line breaks
Text copied from a PDF or e-mail often has a line break at the end of every line. This tool joins those lines into flowing paragraphs.

What it does
- Lines within a paragraph are joined with a single space.
- Keep paragraphs (on by default): blank lines between paragraphs are kept, so the structure stays. Untick it to get one single block of text.
- Rejoin split words (on by default): a word broken at the end of a line with a hyphen, such as
hy-andphen, is put back together ashyphen, but only when the next line starts in lowercase.
Extra spaces are cleaned up as well.
To put a list on a single line with a separator, use join lines. To go the other way and break long lines up, use wrap text.
