Paste your messy text, choose what to fix, and hit Clean.

Cleaning options

  • Extra spaces — collapses multiple consecutive spaces into one
  • Blank lines — removes lines that contain only whitespace
  • Trim each line — strips leading/trailing spaces from every line
  • Line breaks — joins all lines into a single continuous paragraph
  • Smart quotes — converts curly "quotes" and 'apostrophes' to straight ones
  • HTML tags — strips out all <tag> markup from the text
  • HTML entities — decodes &amp; &lt; &gt; &nbsp; and common entities
Tip: Enable "Trim + blank lines + extra spaces" to fix typical Word/PDF paste issues in one go.
