Text Cleaner FAQ

Is my text sent to a server?
No. All cleaning runs in your browser using JavaScript string operations. Your text never leaves your device.

What does 'Strip HTML' do?
It removes all HTML tags (like <p>, <div>, <a>) from the text while keeping the visible text content. It also decodes HTML entities like &amp; and &lt;.

What does 'Normalize Line Endings' do?
It converts all line ending styles (Windows \r\n and old Mac \r) to Unix-style \n so the text is consistent across platforms.

Will it remove my paragraph breaks?
Only if you enable 'Remove Blank Lines'. By default, single line breaks between paragraphs are preserved.

Can I undo a cleaning operation?
The original text stays in the input area unchanged. If you don't like the result, adjust the toggles and clean again.

Does it handle Unicode text?
Yes. Unicode text (accented characters, CJK, emoji) is preserved unless you enable 'Strip Non-ASCII', which removes characters outside the basic ASCII range.

Background

Clean up messy text from any source in seconds. Paste content copied from websites, emails, PDFs, or documents and apply one or more cleaning operations: strip HTML tags, collapse multiple spaces, remove blank lines, trim leading and trailing whitespace, normalize line endings, remove non-printable characters, and strip non-ASCII characters.

Toggle individual operations on or off to get exactly the result you need. All processing runs locally in your browser — your text never leaves your device.

Who is this for: content writers cleaning up copied web text, developers sanitising user input, data analysts preparing text for processing, translators cleaning formatted documents, and anyone tired of manually fixing messy whitespace and invisible characters.
