Why clean text at all?
This tool fixes problems like: • Zero-width characters copied from web pages • Passwords and codes that “look right” but fail • Watermark ZWSPs embedded by AI text tools
Clean text pastes predictably into CMSs, spreadsheets and forms — fewer broken layouts and fewer manual fixes.
The cleanup is transparent: your original stays untouched in the input box until you change it.

Frequently asked questions
Will my original text be modified?
No — the input stays as you typed it. The cleaned version only appears in the output box until you copy it.
Can I undo the cleanup?
Just edit or clear the input; the output always reflects exactly what is in the box.
Does it handle very long documents?
Yes. Everything runs in your browser, so a 100-page paste is as welcome as a sentence.
