How to use Tab to Spaces

Paste text containing tabs and choose 2, 4, or 8 spaces, and the tool converts every tab character to that many spaces.

Frequently asked questions

What are the common tab sizes?

2 spaces (JS/Ruby style), 4 spaces (Python/Java style), 8 spaces (traditional Unix style).

Does it convert all tabs?

Yes — every tab character in the text is converted to the chosen number of spaces.

What if I mix tabs and spaces?

Only tab characters are converted. Existing spaces are left as-is.
