How to Remove Line Breaks from Text Fast | Rune

Line breaks can wreak havoc on your text. Whether you're copying from a PDF that adds breaks at every line, cleaning up email content, or preparing text for a platform that doesn't support formatting, removing line breaks is a common necessity. Here's how to do it fast.

Why Text Has Unwanted Line Breaks

PDF Extraction

PDFs often add hard line breaks at the end of each visual line—not at sentence ends. This creates paragraphs like:

The quick brown fox jumps
over the lazy dog. The dog
didn't seem to mind.

Email Formatting

Plain text emails may wrap at 72 characters, creating breaks mid-sentence.

Copy-Paste from Web

Some websites add invisible line breaks when you copy text.

WhatsApp and Messaging Apps

Messages copied from WhatsApp often include line breaks that break formatting elsewhere.
