Replace whitespaces with a single space

How does it work?

This tool replaces all sequences of whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines, etc.) with a single space character. It normalizes text by removing excessive whitespace while preserving the separation between words.

Example of replacing whitespaces

Original text

This   text    has    multiple    spaces   between   words.
It  also  has  tabs		and    multiple
line


breaks.

The     result     will     have     only     single     spaces.

After replacing whitespaces

This text has multiple spaces between words. It also has tabs and multiple line breaks. The result will have only single spaces.

This tool is useful for:

Normalizing text copied from various sources
Cleaning up text with inconsistent spacing
Preparing text for further processing
Converting multi-line text into a single line
Removing formatting while preserving content

What gets replaced:

Multiple consecutive spaces
Tabs
Newlines
Any combination of different whitespace characters

Note:

This tool converts all text into a single line by replacing newlines with spaces. If you want to preserve line breaks while only normalizing spaces within each line, you might want to use a different approach.
