It replaces every tab character with a single space, so text that was aligned or indented with tabs becomes consistently space-separated. The rest of your text is left unchanged.
Why replace tabs with a space instead of deleting them?
Tabs usually separate words or columns. Deleting them outright would glue neighbouring values together: "Name Age" would become "NameAge". Replacing each tab with a space keeps those values readable and parseable.
When is removing tabs useful?
It helps when pasting tab-indented code into an editor that expects spaces, cleaning tab-separated data before reformatting it, or fixing text where invisible tabs break alignment or a strict format.
Does it collapse the resulting spaces?
No. Each tab becomes exactly one space. If you then want to collapse multiple spaces, run Remove Extra Spaces afterwards.
