How do you replace tabs with spaces?
Replacing tabs with spaces converts every tab character in your text into a fixed number of spaces — four by default — so indentation looks identical everywhere, regardless of editor tab width. Snabbit rewrites the whole paste at once while leaving your line breaks intact. It runs in your browser, so your code or text never leaves your device.
How to use the Replace Tabs With Spaces
- 1 Paste your tab-indented text or code.
- 2 Each tab is replaced with four spaces automatically.

What you can use it for
- Normalising indentation before sharing code.

- Meeting a style guide that bans tabs.
- Preparing text for systems that mishandle tabs.
Frequently asked questions
How many spaces does each tab become?
Each tab is replaced with four spaces, a common default that keeps nested indentation readable in editors that do not interpret tabs.
Are spaces inside my text affected?
No. Only literal tab characters are changed. Existing spaces, line breaks and visible text are left exactly as they were.
Why convert tabs to spaces at all?
Tabs render at different widths across tools, so mixed code can look misaligned. Converting to spaces makes indentation consistent everywhere.
