What Are Line Breaks?

Line breaks (also called newlines) are invisible characters that tell the text where to start a new line. Different systems use different conventions:

  • Windows: \r\n (Carriage Return + Line Feed)
  • Mac/Linux: \n (Line Feed)
  • Old Mac: \r (Carriage Return)

Common Use Cases

PDF Copy-Paste

When copying text from PDFs, line breaks are often added at the end of each visual line:

This is a sentence that
continues on the next line
but should be one line.

→ "This is a sentence that continues on the next line but should be one line."

Email Text

Some email clients add line breaks at 80 characters, creating awkward formatting when copied.

Data Processing

Convert multi-line lists to single-line CSV format using comma separator.

Code Strings

Join multi-line text into a single-line string for programming.

FAQs About Line Break Removal

What about paragraphs?

This tool removes ALL line breaks. If you want to keep paragraph breaks (double newlines), you may need to process the text differently.

Does it handle Windows and Mac line endings?

Yes, our tool handles all types of line endings: Windows (\r\n), Unix/Mac (\n), and old Mac (\r).

Will it affect my data?

Only line breaks are modified. All other characters remain unchanged.

Can I undo the operation?

Keep your original text copied elsewhere before processing, as there's no undo feature.

Why Text Gets Unwanted Line Breaks

  • PDFs - Text reflows based on page width
  • OCR - Optical character recognition adds line breaks
  • Word processors - Hard line breaks vs soft wrapping
