Frequently Asked Questions
It replaces each tab with two spaces — despite the tool's name, tabs aren't deleted outright; they're converted to a fixed 2-space equivalent, which usually preserves visual alignment better than simply removing them.
It's a fixed conversion built into this tool; if you need a different tab width (like 4 spaces), you'd need to do a find-and-replace yourself afterward.
This tool doesn't offer that option — it only converts tabs to 2 spaces. For true deletion, you'd need a different find-and-replace tool set to replace \t with nothing.
No — the conversion happens entirely in your browser.
