What does Text Cleaner do?

Text Cleaner is a free online tool that instantly removes unwanted formatting from your text. Whether you've copied content from ChatGPT, Claude, Google Docs, Microsoft Word, an email, or a PDF — our tool strips away extra spaces, blank lines, tab characters, and invisible Unicode symbols so your text is clean, readable, and ready to paste anywhere.

No registration, no ads, no tracking. Just paste and get a clean result in real time.

Which symbols and characters are removed?

  • Extra spaces — multiple consecutive spaces are collapsed into a single space.
  • Blank lines — lines containing only whitespace are removed entirely.
  • Tab characters — all \t tabs are replaced with regular spaces.
  • Non-breaking spaces —   and Unicode NBSP (U+00A0) are normalized.
  • Zero-width characters — zero-width space (U+200B), zero-width non-joiner (U+200C), zero-width joiner (U+200D), and byte order mark (U+FEFF) are stripped.
  • Invisible Unicode — left-to-right marks, right-to-left marks, and other hidden formatting characters are removed.
  • Leading/trailing whitespace — each line is trimmed, and the overall text is trimmed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to remove extra spaces?

Simply paste your text into the input field. Text Cleaner automatically collapses multiple consecutive spaces into a single space. You don't need to click any button — it happens in real time.

How to remove blank lines?

Blank lines (lines containing only whitespace or nothing at all) are automatically detected and removed. The tool preserves intentional paragraph breaks while eliminating unnecessary empty lines.

How to clean copied text?

Copy any text from anywhere — ChatGPT, Word, email, PDF — and paste it into the left card. The cleaned version appears instantly on the right. Use the "Copy result" button to copy the clean text back to your clipboard.

How to remove invisible characters?

Our tool strips zero-width spaces (U+200B), zero-width non-joiners (U+200C), zero-width joiners (U+200D), byte order marks (U+FEFF), non-breaking spaces (U+00A0), and directional formatting marks. These are characters you can't see but can cause issues in code, databases, and web forms.

How to clean text for Word?

Paste text from Word into Text Cleaner to strip hidden formatting, then copy the cleaned result and paste it back into Word using "Keep Text Only" paste (Ctrl+Shift+V on Windows, ⌘+Shift+V on Mac) for the cleanest result.

How to remove tabs?

All tab characters (\t) are automatically replaced with regular spaces. If you need to completely remove indentation rather than replace with spaces, the cleaned output will have consistent spacing throughout.

Yes, completely free. No registration, no premium tiers, no ads. The entire tool runs in your browser — your text never leaves your device.

Does Text Cleaner store my text?

No. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never uploaded, stored, or logged anywhere. Privacy is built into the design.
