Remove Extra Spaces
Need to collapse repeated spaces while preserving words? Remove Extra Spaces does it in the browser, in a couple of clicks. All counting, matching and rewriting happens in JavaScript on the page itself, so even long confidential drafts stay in your browser. It is used most by writers and editors cleaning up a draft before submission. Handles full Unicode, so accented Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese and emoji all count correctly. Free, unlimited, and free of the upsells most tools of this kind carry.
