Before
The city's bike-share pilot ran for six months across three neighbourhoods,logging just over 48,000 trips.Riders were most active between 7am and 9am,and teh average trip lasted 14 min- utes,shorter then the planners had modelled. Station placement mattered more then fleet size.Docks within 200 metres of a transit stop saw nearly twice teh usage of those further away, regardless of how many bikes were available. Teh council will vote in march on whether to expand teh scheme city-wide.

¶ Capabilities
The seven ways copy-paste breaks paragraphs
Each one gets repaired in the same pass.
Phantom line breaks
PDFs add a hard return at every visual line. Those fragments are stitched back into one paragraph.
Double-newline bloat
Blank lines after every line (hello, AI chats) are collapsed to a normal rhythm.
Lost paragraph breaks
A single wall of text is split back into real paragraphs at the natural boundaries.
Orphaned spacing
Missing spaces after periods and words fused together where lines collided are separated again.
Wrap-width scars
Text copied from narrow columns is reflowed to full width instead of staying chopped at 40 characters.
Indent debris
Stray tabs and leading spaces from quoted replies are stripped so the left edge lines up.
Justified stretch marks
Big irregular gaps from justified layouts are smoothed to single spaces.
Hyphenated splits
Words split across lines like “min-\nutes” are joined back into whole words.

Frequently asked questions
What is a paragraph formatter?
A tool that repairs paragraph structure: it rejoins lines that were split mid-sentence, removes surplus blank lines and restores breaks where a new paragraph really starts.
Will it change my wording?
No. It rejoins and re-spaces your text and corrects obvious typos, but it doesn't rewrite, shorten or summarise.
Why does text from a PDF paste with broken lines?
PDFs store text as positioned lines, not paragraphs. When you copy, each visual line comes with its own line break. The formatter recognises which breaks are real and which are layout artefacts.
Can it handle long documents?
Yes, up to your free word allowance per run. For very long documents, format them in sections.
Is it free?
Yes, with a generous rolling word allowance. No account or card needed.
