Remove Spaces

The fastest way to remove spaces from text.

PicoToolkit allows you quickly delete space characters from the provided text.

To execute space remover, select Remove -> Spaces.

The tool will ask you what kind of whitespace characters you wish to have deleted. Available options are:

Remove all spaces

Select this whitespace remover option if you wish to delete all existing spaces in the document. It will remove all whitespace characters like space, tab, etc.

Remove extra spaces

Sometimes a document may contain duplicated spaces - for example, several spaces between the words instead of just one. 

Select this option if you wish to convert duplicated spaces to a single space character.

Strip whitespace 

This is the most popular option. It allows you to get rid of spaces at both ends of each line. 

For example:

  some text fragment   

After you trim spaces the text will look like this:

some text fragment

Of course, this is just a silly example, but for a large block of text, it could take a lot of time to delete spaces manually. Luckily, you may use PicoToolkit to do this in a blink of an eye :)

Why bother to remove whitespaces?

Unnecessary spaces may ruin the layout of your document!

If you struggle to format your document according to your plan, check for extra spaces. Those characters are extremely tricky since they are invisible - you may even be surprised how many of them are in the document.

Remove spacing at the end of each line and all duplicated spaces between the words; you will be surprised how magically all the formatting will start working.

The most straightforward form of compression

If you copy-paste large portions of documents, especially from online websites, you may be surprised how many unwanted white characters are in the document.

By removing extra white space, you could radically decrease the size of the final document.
