Remove Text Formatting
Strip all formatting, special characters, and styling from your text. Get clean, plain text instantly.
Why Remove Formatting?
When you copy text from websites, Word documents, or PDFs, it often comes with invisible formatting: font styles, sizes, colors, line breaks, and special Unicode characters. This can cause problems when pasting into plain text editors, forms, or databases.
Common Problems Solved
- Weird Line Breaks: Text copied from PDFs often has random breaks mid-sentence.
- Smart Quotes: Curly quotes (") that don't work in code or databases.
- Hidden Characters: Zero-width spaces, soft hyphens, or other invisible formatting.
- Accents & Diacritics: Removing accent marks to get plain ASCII letters.
