  4. Copy the cleaned text.

Frequently asked questions

What gets cleaned?

Smart quotes → straight quotes, en/em dashes optionally preserved, non-breaking and zero-width spaces removed, tabs normalized, multiple spaces collapsed and trailing whitespace trimmed per line.

Is cleaning destructive?

You choose which fixes apply via checkboxes, see a diff summary of changes, and can reset to the original at any time during the session.

Where does cleaning run?

Entirely in your browser — nothing is transmitted or stored.
