Text Cleaner
Clean messy pasted text in one pass - strip hashtags, emoji, special characters, numbers, duplicate lines, and extra spaces all at once, instead of running separate tools one after another.
Recommended Settings
Pro Tips
- •Options apply in a fixed order - clutter like hashtags and emoji first, then spacing, then line/duplicate handling, then case - so combining several options gives a predictable result
- •Remove Line Breaks and Remove Duplicate Lines are mutually exclusive - once every line break is gone there's nothing left to compare for duplicates
- •Every option is a toggle, so you can turn off exactly the cleanup steps you don't need instead of running several separate tools
- •Toggle on Normalize Extra Spaces after copying from a PDF or webpage, where inconsistent spacing is common

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this text cleaner actually remove?
You choose from hashtags, emoji, special characters, numbers, line breaks, duplicate lines, and extra spaces - each is an independent toggle, so you only clean what you select.
Can I remove duplicate lines and line breaks at the same time?
No - removing line breaks joins everything into one line, which leaves nothing for duplicate-line detection to compare. If both are checked, line breaks take priority.
What counts as a 'special character' here?
Anything that isn't a letter, a number, or whitespace - punctuation, symbols, and similar characters are all removed when that option is checked.
Does this replace the individual Remove Spaces or HTML Tag Remover tools?
Not entirely - this tool focuses on combining common cleanup steps into one pass. For removing every space entirely or stripping HTML markup specifically, the dedicated Remove Spaces and HTML Tag Remover tools are more precise.
Is my data sent to a server?
No. All cleaning happens instantly in your browser using JavaScript - nothing you paste is transmitted anywhere.
