Trim Every Line

Frequently asked questions
- Is my text stored when I use Trim Every Line? — No. Trim Every Line processes the text in the page itself. Nothing is transmitted or saved, which matters for unpublished or confidential writing.
- Is there any signup? — None. Trim Every Line has no account, no email capture and no usage cap.
- Can I use it offline? — Once the page has loaded, yes — the work happens locally, so a dropped connection will not interrupt you.
- Will formatting be kept? — No. Pasted content is treated as plain text, so bold, colours and links are dropped.
