Remove tabs from text

Paste tab-delimited or indented text to replace tab characters with spaces. A single tab and a run of several tabs both become one space.

Existing spacing

Normal spaces are not collapsed, and line breaks stay where they are. This keeps the operation limited to tab characters rather than applying a wider whitespace cleanup.

For example, name\t\tvalue becomes name value.

Tabular data

Replacing tabs removes the column structure from TSV data. Use it for prose, copied labels, or text that should no longer contain tab characters, not when the tabs still separate data fields.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are tabs deleted or replaced?

Each continuous run of tab characters becomes one space. This keeps words on either side from joining together.

Does the tab remover change normal spaces?

No. Existing spaces and line breaks remain unchanged.

Can it convert tabs to a specific number of spaces?

No. The focused operation replaces each tab run with one space. Open the full Text Cleaner for additional whitespace cleanup.

Audio Hum Remover

Notch out mains hum at 50 or 60 Hz along with up to four harmonics. Set the fundamental, how many harmonics to follow, the notch width, and how far each one drops.

Audio Silence Remover

Find the silent gaps in a recording and cut them out, keeping a set amount of pause at each edit. Set the level that counts as silence, the shortest gap worth removing, and how much to leave behind.

Audio Merger

Join several audio files into one, in the order you set. Sources with different sample rates or channel counts are matched to the highest of the set, and each seam is faded so a join does not click.

Audio Fade In and Out

Add a fade-in at the start and a fade-out at the end of an audio file, with a linear, equal-power, or exponential curve and lengths up to 30 seconds each.

Auto-Wah

Sweep a resonant band-pass filter with the level of the signal itself. Set sensitivity, the base frequency, how many octaves the sweep covers, resonance, release, and the wet/dry mix.

BPM Detector

Find the tempo of an audio file from its onset pattern, with a confidence figure, the half and double time candidates, and the beat lengths in milliseconds for setting a delay or a modulation rate.

Audio Channel Tool

Sum a stereo file to mono, swap left and right, send one side to both channels, isolate the difference between them, or flip the phase of a single channel, then write the result as stereo or as a single-channel file.

Dynamic Range Compressor

Compress the dynamic range of an audio file with threshold, ratio, knee, attack, release, and makeup gain, and hear the result before exporting.

Audio Noise Gate

Mute an audio file while it sits below a threshold, with hysteresis, hold, attack, release, and a range control that sets how far the closed gate attenuates.

Audio Reverb

Add reverb to an audio file with controls for room size, damping, pre-delay, and wet/dry mix. The export continues past the end of the source so the decay finishes.

Rotary Speaker

Run audio through a spinning horn and drum cabinet with a shared rate from 0.1 to 8 Hz, a depth control for the pitch and level swing, stereo width, and a wet/dry mix.

Audio Spectrum Analyzer

Plot the average magnitude spectrum of an audio file with peak hold, on a log or linear frequency axis. Set the FFT size from 1024 to 16384 samples and read the level of any band in dBFS.
