How it works

  • Identifies non-breaking spaces, narrow no-break spaces, thin spaces, and odd tab characters.
  • Swaps them for regular ASCII spaces or tabs so formatting looks consistent in emails, Markdown, or CMS editors.
  • Highlights anything we leave alone so you can make manual calls on formatting characters.
  • All computation happens locally in the browser — nothing is uploaded or logged.

Mini FAQ

What is a non-breaking space?

A non-breaking space (U+00A0) keeps words on the same line. It is invisible but can misalign columns or break Markdown lists. We convert it to a regular space by default.

Does this remove tabs?

We highlight and normalise stray tab characters that slip in from copy/paste. If you need to keep tabs, simply undo or skip the auto-fix step.

Why do ATS or CMS tools hate these gaps?

Hidden Unicode spaces can prevent exact keyword matches or break layout rendering. Converting them to standard spaces keeps downstream systems happy.
