About
What Does a Text Cleaner Do?
Pasted text often brings along clutter: double spaces, broken lines, invisible characters, and leftover formatting. A text cleaner removes that clutter in one pass, so what’s left is plain, predictable text.
Think of it as a plain text converter you control: each fix is a separate switch, and the preview updates live. Afterwards, check the length with the character counter, or correct the capitals with the case converter.

Features
Key Features
Spaces and lines
Remove extra spaces, remove empty lines, and remove duplicate lines, each as a separate option.
Line breaks, your way
Unwrap lines broken mid-paragraph, or remove line breaks entirely to join everything into one block.
Hidden characters
Remove invisible characters such as the zero-width space, soft hyphens, and text-direction marks.
Formatting and HTML
Strip HTML tags, email quote marks, and Word bullets, and turn smart quotes into plain ones.
Use cases
Who It’s For
Copying from PDFs and emails
Fix pasted text that breaks every few words, then drop it straight into a document.
Publishing and CMS work
Remove formatting from text before pasting it into a website, newsletter, or social post.
Data cleanup
Remove zero width space characters and duplicate lines that break searches, spreadsheets, and code.
What are invisible characters?
Characters that take up no space but still sit in your text, such as zero-width spaces, soft hyphens, and direction marks. They come along when you copy from websites and chat apps, and they can break searches, counts, and code.
What’s the difference between removing line breaks and unwrapping?
“Unwrap hard line breaks” joins lines within a paragraph but keeps the blank lines between paragraphs, which fixes text copied from PDFs and plain-text emails. “Remove all line breaks” merges everything into a single paragraph.
Is it safe to clean text online if it contains HTML?
Yes. HTML is stripped as plain text, without loading it into the page, so scripts, images, and links in the markup can’t run or load anything. Your text never leaves your browser.
