Extra Spaces — collapses multiple consecutive spaces into a single space. One of the most common formatting issues when pasting from PDFs, Word documents, or emails.
Leading & Trailing Whitespace — removes spaces and tabs from the beginning and end of each line. Essential for cleaning code, CSV data, and text copied from formatted sources.
Line Breaks & Empty Lines — remove all line breaks to convert text into a single paragraph, or remove only empty (blank) lines to tighten up spacing while keeping paragraph structure.
Duplicate Lines — automatically detects and removes repeated lines while preserving the first occurrence. Perfect for cleaning log files, lists, and data dumps.
HTML Tags — strips all HTML markup, leaving only the visible text content. Ideal for extracting readable text from web pages, email templates, or CMS exports.
URLs & Emails — removes web links and email addresses from text. Useful for cleaning scraped content, forum posts, or preparing text for publication.
Smart Quotes & Dashes — replaces curly quotes (" " ' '), em dashes (—), and en dashes (–) with their standard ASCII equivalents. Critical for code, CSV files, and systems that don't support Unicode typography.
Zero-Width Characters — removes invisible Unicode characters (zero-width spaces, joiners, non-breaking spaces, BOM markers) that can cause subtle bugs in code, data imports, and text processing.
Messy text causes real problems. Extra whitespace breaks code formatting. Hidden Unicode characters corrupt database imports. Curly quotes fail in JSON and CSV files. Duplicate lines inflate word counts. HTML tags pollute plain-text exports. Our text cleaner gives you granular control over exactly what gets removed — you can clean aggressively or surgically, depending on your needs.
Common use cases include cleaning text copied from PDFs and Word documents, preparing content for CMS import, sanitising user-submitted form data, cleaning log files and data dumps, removing formatting from email chains, and normalising text for NLP or data processing pipelines.
