The invisible enemy. Spaces, tabs, non-breaking spaces, em spaces, hair spaces — there are literally 25+ types of whitespace in Unicode, and they all cause problems.

The "Why Doesn't This Match?" Problem

"John Smith" doesn't equal "John Smith"

They look identical. But one has a regular space (U+0020) and one has a non-breaking space (U+00A0) from being copied from a web page.

Your database rejects the duplicate. Your VLOOKUP fails. This tool reveals and removes the invisible differences.

Modes

  • Trim: Remove leading/trailing spaces only
  • Collapse: Multiple spaces → single space
  • Remove all: Delete every whitespace character
