How to use this tool

Blank-line policy

A blank line is a line whose content is empty after trimming whitespace. The selected maximum applies to consecutive blank lines; text and whitespace on retained blank lines are preserved.

Line endings and local limit

LF, CRLF, and CR are accepted. Output uses the first line-ending style found in the input. Input is limited to 1 MiB and stays in this browser.
