Before and After Examples
What This Tool Does
Plain Text Converter applies structural cleanup without interpreting HTML: optional per-line trim removes padding spaces from exports, and blank-line removal compacts vertical whitespace. It is a lightweight preprocessor before analytics tools that assume tidy one-line-per-item input. Next steps: Remove Extra Spaces, then Word Counter to verify length.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this remove HTML tags?
No. Use Remove HTML Tags first if markup is present.
Can I keep some blank lines?
Disable blank-line removal or re-insert paragraph breaks manually afterward.
Is trim different from Remove Extra Spaces?
Trim removes edge whitespace on lines; Remove Extra Spaces also collapses duplicate spaces mid-line.
Will tabs be trimmed?
Leading and trailing tab characters on lines are removed when trim is enabled.
