Frequently Asked Questions

What does trimming whitespace do?

Trimming removes leading (start) and trailing (end) whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, line breaks) from each line while preserving the content in between.

What types of whitespace are removed?

The tool removes spaces, tabs, and other whitespace characters from the beginning and end of each line. It preserves internal spacing between words.

When should I use this tool?

Use this when cleaning up copied text, preparing data for processing, formatting code, or when whitespace at the beginning or end of lines causes issues in your application.

Does this tool affect line breaks?

The tool preserves line breaks but removes leading and trailing spaces from each line. Empty lines (containing only whitespace) will become truly empty after trimming.
