What is the Text Cleaner?
Text copied from PDFs, emails, websites and chat apps is often full of double spaces, stray line breaks, empty lines and hidden formatting. This text cleaner fixes all of it with a few tick boxes: trim each line, collapse repeated spaces, remove empty lines, join everything into a single line, strip HTML tags, convert smart quotes to plain ones and more.
The output updates live as you toggle options, and you can copy it or download it as a text file. It is ideal for cleaning data before import, preparing copy for a CMS, fixing text from PDFs and getting emails ready to paste elsewhere — all without leaving your browser.
