Frequently asked questions

Can I keep my paragraphs?

Yes — “Remove line breaks, keep paragraphs” joins the lines inside each paragraph but keeps the empty line between paragraphs.

What about words split with a hyphen?

With “Join words split with a hyphen” on, a word split like hy- / phen at the end of a line becomes “hyphen” again, as often happens with text copied from PDFs.

Can I replace line breaks with commas?

Yes — choose a space, nothing, a comma, a semicolon, a br tag or any text of your own.

Can it do the opposite?

Yes: “One sentence per line” puts every sentence on its own line, and “Remove only empty lines” deletes blank lines.

Can I open files?

Yes — open or drop TXT, Markdown, CSV, HTML, JSON, subtitles, Word (.docx), OpenDocument (.odt), RTF and PDF files, even several at once.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. Lines are joined in your browser, so nothing you paste leaves your device. A draft is kept only in this browser so you don't lose it.
