About this tool

How to use it
- Paste the text with unwanted line breaks.
- Choose whether to keep paragraph breaks and what to put in place of each break.
- Press Remove breaks and copy the result.
Frequently asked questions
How are paragraphs detected?
A blank line (two or more consecutive line breaks) marks a paragraph. With “Keep paragraphs” on, those are preserved and only single breaks are joined.
What does rejoin hyphenated words do?
A word cut as “exam-” at the end of one line and “ple” on the next becomes “example”. Turn it off for real compound words at line ends.
