Why copied text breaks

PDFs, emails, terminal output, and subtitle files hard-wrap text to a fixed width. The line breaks are part of the layout, not the sentences, but they come along when you copy. Paste into a document and you get a jagged column of half-lines that no amount of manual deleting fixes quickly.

Three modes

  • Smart unwrap. Joins single line breaks into spaces while keeping blank lines as paragraph boundaries. This restores the original paragraph structure of most PDFs and emails.
  • Remove all. Collapses every break into one continuous block, useful for filling single-line form fields or search boxes.
  • Line = paragraph. Adds a blank line after every line, which turns a list-like export into separated paragraphs.

Hyphen repair

Justified PDF text often splits words across lines with a hyphen, like infor-mation. Smart and remove-all modes detect that pattern and stitch the word back together, so the result reads naturally without a spell-check pass.

Frequently asked questions

How do I remove line breaks but keep paragraphs?

Use Smart unwrap. Single breaks inside a paragraph become spaces, and blank lines between paragraphs are preserved.

Will it merge separate paragraphs together?

Not in smart mode. Paragraph boundaries marked by a blank line are kept. Only the Remove all mode joins everything into one block.

What does hyphen repair do exactly?

When a lowercase word continues on the next line after a hyphen, the tool removes the hyphen and joins the halves. Real hyphenated compounds followed by capital letters are left alone.

Does it clean up double spaces too?

Yes, when the tidy extra spaces option is on, repeated spaces collapse to one and stray spaces before punctuation are removed.
