Whitespace Remover
Text copied out of a PDF, an email or a spreadsheet usually arrives with spacing damage: double spaces between words, trailing spaces at line ends, or blank lines between every row. This tool offers four targeted fixes rather than one blunt one.

Hello world! This is spaced.
About
What the Whitespace Remover does
Pick the mode that matches the damage. 'Remove excess spaces' collapses runs of whitespace to a single space and is the right default for prose. 'Trim start & end' removes leading and trailing whitespace only, leaving internal spacing alone. 'Remove all spaces' is for building identifiers. 'Remove blank lines' compacts a list without touching the lines themselves.
