All cleaning happens in your browser, so even sensitive notes and exported data stay on your device.

What the text cleaner does

Options are applied in a predictable order: characters are stripped first, then line breaks are adjusted, then spacing is collapsed, and finally lines are filtered and sorted. That means you can combine several options at once — for example remove blank lines, trim every line, and sort A–Z in a single pass — and still get a sensible result.

Typical uses

  • Cleaning pasted PDF or email text: remove line breaks and collapse multiple spaces to rebuild proper paragraphs.
  • Tidying a list: trim every line, remove blank lines, remove duplicates, and sort A–Z.
  • Preparing plain text: remove emojis and special characters before importing into a spreadsheet or database.
  • Making text readable: add a line break after each sentence to review long paragraphs one sentence at a time.

Before and after example

Pasting Hello world with “collapse multiple spaces” and “trim” enabled gives Hello world — from 20 characters down to 11, which the counters under each panel show live.

Accessibility

Every option is a real checkbox, so Tab moves between them and Space toggles them. Both text panels are labelled, and the cleaned output is announced when it changes.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between removing punctuation and special characters?

Punctuation covers marks like full stops, commas, quotes, and brackets. Special characters covers other symbols such as ©, §, ★, and currency signs. Keeping only letters and numbers removes both at once.

Does removing duplicate lines change the order?

No. The first occurrence of each line stays where it is and later repeats are removed. Use a sort option if you also want alphabetical order.

Can I combine sorting with the other options?

Yes. Sorting runs last, after trimming and filtering, so you get clean, sorted lines in one pass. A–Z and Z–A are mutually exclusive.

Will it break non-English text?

No. Letters in any alphabet are preserved; only the characters you choose to remove are stripped, and sorting uses locale-aware comparison.

Is my text sent to a server?

No. All processing happens in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
