Empty vs. blank lines
An empty line contains nothing at all. A blank line may contain spaces or tabs. This tool removes only truly empty lines; use Remove Blank Lines to also remove lines that contain only whitespace.

Questions about Remove Empty Lines
More answers in the TextVix FAQ.
Will this remove lines that contain only spaces?
No — those are blank lines, not empty ones. Use Remove Blank Lines for that, or trim whitespace first.
Can I keep paragraph breaks?
Yes. Choose “Keep single spacing” to collapse multiple empty lines into one while keeping paragraphs separated.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your text and files are never sent to a server or stored.
