Replace each tab with a fixed number of spaces.
How to use Tabs to spaces
- Enter your text in the input field.
- The result updates as you type. Adjust the available settings if needed.
- Review the result, then use Copy result or a download link when available.
What to expect
Replace each tab with a fixed number of spaces. Choose 1 to 16 spaces per tab. This is literal replacement, not alignment to tab stops.
