What counts as messy text?
Non-breaking spaces, zero-width joiners, soft hyphens, tabs, trailing spaces and curly punctuation all look normal on screen but behave differently when you search, sort or submit text. This cleaner normalizes them to plain characters.
You stay in control
Every cleanup step is a separate switch, so you can keep line breaks for a list, or flatten everything to one line for a form field.
Frequently asked questions
Does it remove formatting like bold?
Pasting into the box already removes rich formatting. The cleaner then fixes the characters themselves.
What are zero-width characters?
Invisible characters such as U+200B that can sneak in from web pages. They cause failed logins and mismatched searches.
