How to Remove Broken Line Breaks
The Line Break Problem
Text copied from PDFs, OCR output, or certain websites contains hard line breaks that split sentences mid-word. This happens because the original document has fixed-width columns, and each line ends where the column boundary falls — regardless of sentence structure. Our tool detects these artificial breaks by analyzing capitalization and punctuation patterns, then stitches sentences back together while preserving intentional paragraph breaks.
When Line Breaks Matter
Not all line breaks are errors. Poetry, code, addresses, and lists use intentional line breaks that should be preserved. Our tool preserves breaks that follow punctuation or precede capitalized words since these are likely paragraph boundaries while removing breaks that occur mid-sentence. For code formatting, use our JSON formatter tool instead. For poetry or structured text, consider reviewing the output to verify the breaks are handled correctly for your use case.
