Remove Empty List Items

Remove Empty List Items helps you instantly clean up any list by removing blank lines and whitespace-only entries. Whether you’ve copied a messy list from a document, exported text from a form, or just pasted something with too much space between items, this tool gets rid of all the noise in one click.

It runs entirely in your browser and updates live as you type. You don’t need to upload anything, and you can export or copy the cleaned list straight from the page. It also includes helpful options to show line numbers, flag empty lines, and trim trailing spaces before cleaning. It’s fast, safe, and designed specifically for list-based workflows.

How to Use:

• Paste your list into the Input Text box or click Import to load a .txt file.
• Use the toggles in the Options panel to customize how the cleanup works.
  • Trim trailing spaces: removes any space at the end of each line.
  • Remove duplicate lines: deletes repeated entries and keeps only the first.
  • Ignore case when filtering: treats uppercase and lowercase versions of the same word as duplicates (e.g., Apple and apple).
• The cleaned version appears immediately in the Formatted Output box on the right.
• Click Copy to save the results to your clipboard, or Export to download a cleaned file.
• Hit Clean any time to reapply your current settings.

There’s no reload, no delay just live processing with instant feedback.

What Remove Empty List Items can do:

This tool doesn’t just delete blank lines it intelligently filters out the fluff and leaves you with a clean, ready-to-use list. Maybe you’re copying data from Excel that ends up with tons of empty rows. Maybe you’ve got a list of keywords, usernames, tags, or items that includes duplicates and random whitespace. This tool handles all of that automatically.

You can tweak behavior with the toggles depending on whether you want to remove duplicates, trim space, or keep case-sensitive entries. Want to preserve Apple and apple as separate values? Leave Ignore case off. Want to clean everything down to the essentials? Flip on all three toggles. It’s flexible, clean, and simple.

This is especially useful for content creators, developers, data wranglers, or anyone working with bulk input that needs to be cleaned up before reuse.
