Line Endings Converter

Convert between CRLF, LF and CR, and strip trailing whitespace.

Line endings differ by platform: Unix and macOS use LF, Windows uses CRLF, and classic Mac OS used a bare CR. Mixed endings in one file break diffs, shell scripts and some parsers. This converter normalises them all and can strip trailing whitespace at the same time.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my shell script fail with a strange error?
