The text and data corner

Clean up pasted formatting

Pasted text carries what nobody can see: zero width characters, writing direction controls that flip the display without changing a single byte, spaces that are not spaces. The tool NAMES them one by one, with their official Unicode names, then strips them.

Pasted text

Nothing is sent. The tool will first show you what this text carries invisibly, then clean it.
Ctrl + Enter also runs the tool.

Your text never leaves your device

This tool works entirely inside your browser. What you type or paste here is sent nowhere, and nothing is kept once the tab is closed.

Checkable in ten seconds, without taking our word for it:

  1. Open your browser's inspector: the F12 key (or Ctrl+Shift+I, or Cmd+Option+I on a Mac).
  2. Go to the “Network” tab, then clear the list.
  3. Type or paste some text on this page and run the tool. The list stays empty: no request goes out.
  4. To go further: cut your connection and do it again. The tool still works.

This absence of requests is also checked BY MACHINE before every release: a lock drives a real browser, processes a real file, and refuses to publish if a single byte goes out.

InstructionsHow it works

Text. If your clipboard also carries rich formatting, your browser does not pass it to a text area: what arrives here is already plain text, and that is exactly right.
