How do I remove line breaks but keep paragraphs?
Turn on 'keep paragraphs' — it joins single breaks into flowing text but preserves blank lines between paragraphs.
Will this fix text copied from a PDF?
Yes — it's designed to reflow PDF and email text that has a break at the end of every line.
What's the difference between line breaks and paragraph breaks?
A line break ends a single line; a paragraph break is a blank line between blocks of text. This tool can keep the latter.
Can I replace breaks with a space or comma?
Yes — choose whether each removed break becomes a space, nothing or a comma.
Does it handle Windows and Mac line endings?
Yes — Windows (CRLF), Mac and Unix line endings are all handled.
