How to use Remove Extra Spaces

Get the best out of Remove Extra Spaces: every option explained, a worked example, and what to check when the output is not what you expected.

Updated July 31, 2026

What it does

Clean up your text by removing extra spaces and tabs. It runs entirely in your browser — your input never leaves your device.

Options

Every setting this tool exposes, straight from the code that validates it.

OptionTypeDefaultWhat it does
texttextText to clean up. Required.

Worked example

Run these settings on the tool page:

  • text: hello

You get:

hello

Troubleshooting

  • Nothing happens / the output stays empty. text is required — the tool waits until you provide it.
  • It is slow on very large input. Everything runs in your browser, so speed depends on your device. Very large inputs are best split up, or run through the API where the work happens on our servers.

Automating it

The same logic is available as a REST endpoint, so you can run it from a script, a CI job or your own app.

Bash
curl "https://api.toolsxpo.com/v1/remove-extra-spaces" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOOLSXPO_KEY"

It costs 1 credit per successful call. See the full endpoint reference, or try it in the playground.
