Advanced Text Cleaner – Remove HTML, Spaces, Formatting & More Online Free
Clean and format text online with this advanced text cleaner. Remove extra spaces, HTML tags, URLs, email addresses, and blank lines. Normalize Unicode, change case, find/replace, and wrap paragraphs — all in your browser.
One-click presets for common workflows
- Plain Clean: removes extra spaces and blank lines for quick hygiene.
- Article Formatter: cleans pasted web content and merges broken lines for readable paragraphs.
- Paragraph 80: hard-wraps text to 80 characters — ideal for plain-text email and Markdown.
- Pretty: polishes punctuation, normalization, and spacing for a neat, readable finish.
Under the hood, the cleaner removes extra spaces and empty lines, merges broken lines inside paragraphs, and normalizes Unicode with NFKC to prevent look‑alike characters and oddities that sneak in from PDFs or rich text. It strips HTML tags, URLs, and email addresses; replaces curly quotes and em/en dashes with straight quotes and hyphens; and converts tabs ↔ spaces in either direction (use a positive number to expand tabs or a negative value to compress spaces back into tabs). You choose whether to tidy punctuation spacing and collapse runs of punctuation like "!!!" into a single mark.
When you need formatting rather than cleaning, switch case with one click—lowercase, UPPERCASE, Sentence case, Title Case, or Toggle case. You can also deduplicate consecutive words (handy after noisy copy/paste) and remove repeated lines or paragraphs. For editorial passes, use Find & Replace with optional case sensitivity, or filter lines to keep/remove those that contain a literal term—great for extracting citations, error lines, or references from long notes or logs.
Everything happens client‑side, so your text stays private. Live statistics (words, characters, sentences) help you track length and flow while you edit. When you like what you see, copy the result or download a tidy .txt file. For specialty jobs, pair this cleaner with the Regex Tester (for pattern‑based removals), Remove Duplicate Lines, Sort Lines, and Remove Extra Spaces. After polishing, analyze length and clarity with the Advanced Word Counter and Readability Test Tool.
