Convert Spaces to Tabs Online — Fix Indentation Fast
Runs 100% in your browser — your files never leave your device.
When your editor wants tabs but the code arrived indented with spaces, reindenting by hand invites mistakes. Paste the code, choose the tab width — 2, 4, or 8 spaces per tab — and the leading spaces are rewritten as tabs, with any remainder left as spaces. Only indentation is touched; spaces inside lines stay put. Processing stays in your browser.
How it works

Paste your code or text
Space-indented content works best.
- 2
Choose the tab width
Pick how many leading spaces equal one tab: 2, 4, or 8.
- 3
Copy the tab-indented result
The converted text appears live and copies with one click.
