No. Everything runs in your browser, so your text never leaves your device.
How do I fix text copied from a PDF?
Paste it, keep the replacement on a space, and tick Treat several breaks in a row as one. Broken lines then join into normal sentences.
Can I keep my paragraphs?
Yes. Tick Keep paragraphs and only the line breaks inside each paragraph are removed. Blank lines between paragraphs stay.
Can I join lines with a comma?
Yes. Choose A comma, or My own text for any separator you like, such as a pipe or a semicolon.
Does it remove the spaces at the start and end?
Yes. The result is trimmed, and double spaces become one space unless you turn that off.
