Clean up or format text by removing or adding line breaks—ideal for emails, essays, and web content.
Line breaks (also called line endings or newlines) are invisible characters that tell text editors and browsers where to start a new line. They're different from paragraph breaks—single breaks create line separation within paragraphs, while double breaks create actual paragraph separation.
The tool processes your text by identifying line break characters (invisible characters that create new lines) and either removes them or adds new ones according to your settings.
