About
Why does copied text have formatting problems?
When you copy text from a source and paste it somewhere else, you're not just getting the words — you're getting the formatting decisions of the original application, converted imperfectly to plain text. A PDF preserves line positions as hard line breaks. A Word document carries invisible formatting characters. A WhatsApp export includes timestamps and names. A website includes HTML artifacts. An email thread includes > quote markers and indentation.
The result is that the same paragraph can arrive looking completely different depending on where it came from. TextClean gives you a single place to paste any messy text and get clean, consistent output regardless of where it started.
The live preview means you can see the cleaned result as you paste, before you commit to copying it — making it easy to verify the output looks right.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What sources does this work best for?
TextClean works well for text from PDFs, WhatsApp exports, email chains, OCR software, AI chatbots, websites, and Word documents copied into a plain text context.
Does it remove HTML tags?
The current tool focuses on whitespace, case, emojis, and special characters. For stripping full HTML, use the 'Remove special characters' option which will remove < > tags as part of symbol cleaning.
Will it change my actual words?
No. TextClean only modifies formatting — spaces, line breaks, case, and symbols. The words themselves are never changed.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to any server.
