Clean Text.
Strip line breaks, double spaces, tabs and invisible chars that wreck your copy.
When you paste text from a PDF, Word doc or web page, you almost always get smuggled line breaks, non-breaking spaces, smart quotes and invisible characters that break forms, CSVs and databases. This tool detects them and lets you choose what to clean.
- Remove line breaks and collapse to one paragraph
- Collapse multiple spaces into one
- Convert smart quotes to straight (" → ")
- Remove invisible chars (zero-width, NBSP)
- Trim leading/trailing whitespace
- Toggle uppercase / lowercase / Title Case
- 01PDF-pasted text that comes broken into lines
- 02CSV with NBSPs breaking your parser
- 03Normalize copy before uploading to a CMS
- 04Smart quotes → straight quotes for JSON or code
- 05Strip zero-width chars from AI-generated text

What are invisible characters?
Unicode code points that take up space without rendering: zero-width space (U+200B), NBSP (U+00A0), zero-width joiner (U+200D). They sneak in from word processors, web copy, and AI models.
Why aren't all spaces actually spaces?
NBSP (U+00A0) looks like a space but isn't a word separator for some systems. We convert it to a regular space.
Does it preserve other formatting?
Each transformation is opt-in. Toggle only what you need; everything else is left alone.
Does it work with other languages?
Yes. Transformations are Unicode-aware: accents, ñ, CJK and Arabic are respected.
