When you copy text from a PDF, an email quoted at 72 columns, a terminal or a scanned document, every visual line arrives as a hard line break, so pasting it into a document or a post leaves a ragged column instead of a paragraph. Removing line breaks by hand is slow; this tool does it in one step and offers the variants people actually need.
“Join all lines” gives one continuous paragraph. “Keep paragraphs” is the smart option for articles: it joins the broken lines within each paragraph but keeps the blank line between paragraphs. The comma row turns a list into a single line for a search box, a spreadsheet cell or a tag field, and the sentence row does the reverse – one sentence per line for editing or subtitles.

PDF and Email Line Breaks
PDFs store text as positioned lines, not paragraphs, so copying gives you a break wherever the layout wrapped. Plain-text emails are wrapped at a fixed width for the same reason. Both usually keep a blank line between real paragraphs, which is exactly the signal the “Keep paragraphs” row uses: single line breaks become spaces, double line breaks are preserved.
Lists to Single Lines and Back
A column of items becomes a comma-separated line, which is the format most tag fields, search filters and spreadsheet functions expect. To go the other way, paste comma-separated text into the sort-lines tool, which accepts commas as separators.
- apple\nbanana\ncherry → apple, banana, cherry
- Hyphenated words at line ends (“docu-\nment”) are joined as “docu- ment” – fix them with the text cleaner
- Empty lines are dropped from the comma row
Editing With One Sentence Per Line
Writers and subtitle editors often work with one sentence per line so each can be reviewed, reordered or timed. The last row splits at sentence-ending punctuation; join the lines back with the first row when you are done. Nothing is uploaded – the text stays in your browser.
