Clean and format text
What Is a Text Cleaner?
A text cleaner removes unwanted formatting, extra spaces, blank lines, tabs, and other invisible characters from text. When you copy text from websites, PDFs, or emails, it often carries hidden formatting that causes problems in documents, code, and forms. Tooliva's free online text cleaner strips all that away, giving you clean, plain text ready to use anywhere.
