Tabs and Spaces Converter
Expand tabs to tab stops or compress leading spaces into tabs.
Enter your details, or load the example to try this tool.
Method and input rules
Tab expansion respects the current code-point column. Reverse conversion changes leading indentation only; it does not alter spaces inside text.
How to use
- Enter the values or content you want to process. Load example gives a complete starting point.
- Choose Run tool and review the result. Invalid input clears the result and displays an explanation.
- Copy or download the output. Planning tools also provide a printable preview; use your browser’s Save as PDF option if needed.
Your inputs stay in this browser tab
This workspace processes your input on your device, without a processing-server request. It does not save your inputs or send a message. Favourites and recent history contain tool names only. Text inputs are limited to 100,000 characters and generated output to 1,000,000 characters.
Can I try the tool before entering my own data?
Yes. Choose Load example, then Run tool. Clear removes the workspace input and result; it does not change your saved favourites.
Does this check every real-world condition?
No. Read the method and limits above. A calculation uses the assumptions you enter; a conversion checks its supported structure; a document is a draft for you to review.

For file tools, download the sample first, then select it with the tool’s upload control. Your own file is never replaced automatically.
