About this tool
Text you copy from PDFs, emails, spreadsheets or the web arrives full of mess: ragged indentation, double spaces, blank lines, duplicate rows, curly quotes and stray HTML tags. Text Cleaner fixes all of it in one place. Tick the operations you want and the result updates live — combine trimming, de-duplication, sorting, case changes and more.
Every transform runs in your browser on the exact text you paste; nothing is sent to a server. It is handy for cleaning up a list before importing it, normalizing data pulled from a report, or turning a pasted paragraph into tidy plain text. Copy the result when you are happy with it.
Frequently asked questions
What kinds of formatting problems can text cleaner fix?
Check any combination of options — trim trailing spaces, collapse repeated spaces, remove blank lines, delete duplicate lines, sort lines, change case, strip HTML tags, straighten smart quotes, remove accents/diacritics, strip numbering, or convert CRLF to LF — and they all run together on your input.
Can I combine multiple cleanup operations at once?
Yes. Check as many boxes as you need; operations run in a fixed pipeline order (for example, trimming happens before sorting) so results stay predictable regardless of which order you clicked them in.
What does "straighten quotes" actually change?
It converts curly "smart" quotes and apostrophes (" " ' ') often produced by word processors into plain straight quotes (" '), which is useful before pasting text into code or plain-text systems that choke on Unicode punctuation.
Does removing diacritics change the meaning of my text?
It can — "café" becomes "cafe" and "naïve" becomes "naive". Use it only when you need plain ASCII output (e.g. for filenames or slugs), not for text where accents carry meaning.
Is my pasted text uploaded anywhere?
No. Cleaning happens entirely in your browser with JavaScript — nothing you paste is sent to a server.
