Pro Tip

Use "Strip HTML" when copying from websites to remove hidden styling that breaks your document layout.

Why You Need to Clean Up Messy Text Formatting

Copying text from the web, PDFs, or Microsoft Word often brings along hidden formatting, "smart" quotes that break code, and excessive whitespace. This "rich text" can ruin your blog posts, emails, or social media captions. Our Text Cleaner is designed to strip away these annoyances instantly, giving you pure, clean plain text that works everywhere.

How the Plain Text Converter Works

The process is simple: paste your content into the input box, and our tool applies a series of filters. It can remove extra spaces, collapse multiple line breaks, and convert curly quotes into straight ones. If you are a developer or a blogger, the "Strip HTML" feature is a lifesaver, ensuring no hidden <span> or <div> tags remain in your content.

Perfect for Social Media and Content Creation

When using tools like our caption cleaner tool, you might find that you still have weird characters or inconsistent casing. Our Text Cleaner allows you to normalize your text into Sentence Case or Title Case with a single click. This ensures your brand voice remains consistent across Instagram, LinkedIn, and Twitter.

Clean Text for Better SEO and Readability

Search engines prefer clean, well-structured content. By removing duplicate words with our duplicate word remover and then running it through the Text Cleaner, you ensure your copy is professional and error-free. Clean text also improves the user experience, as it prevents weird font glitches or layout shifts on your website.
