Text Cleaner
Strip extra whitespace, normalize line breaks, fix smart quotes, and clean up pasted text.
What is Text Cleaner?
Text pasted from PDFs, websites, or Microsoft Word often comes with hidden artifacts: smart quotes (curly), em-dashes, soft hyphens, double spaces, trailing whitespace, mixed tabs and spaces. This tool normalizes all of that into clean plain text — ready to paste into code editors, CMS forms, or other strict environments.
Frequently asked questions
Why are smart quotes bad?▼
They break code syntax, mess up CSV exports, and don't render correctly in some environments. For documents, they're fine; for technical content, replace them.
