Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a line break and a paragraph break?
A line break (single \n) just moves to the next line. A paragraph break (double \n\n) creates a visible gap and starts a new paragraph — the way paragraphs are separated in web content and modern documents.

Will it remove existing paragraph breaks?
No. By default, existing paragraph breaks are preserved. Only single line breaks inside paragraphs are merged.

What if my text has single blank lines instead of double?
Enable Treat existing single blank lines as paragraph breaks (default ON). Then every single blank line becomes a paragraph separator.

Does it affect emojis, punctuation, or special characters?
No. Only line breaks and (optionally) extra spaces are affected.

Is my text uploaded?
No. Everything runs 100% in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server.
