Frequently asked questions

What does “remove HTML tags” do?
It strips markup like <b> or <div> and keeps the visible text inside, so pasted web content becomes plain text.
Will cleaning delete meaningful spacing?
No. “Collapse multiple spaces” only turns runs of spaces into single spaces. Tabs and line breaks are handled by their own separate options.
Can it fix text copied from PDFs?
Often, yes — PDFs hard-wrap lines mid-sentence, and the line-break cleanup options rejoin them into flowing paragraphs.
Does cleaning change the meaning of my text?
No. Only whitespace, empty lines and markup are touched; your words and punctuation stay exactly as they are.
When should I clean text?
Before pasting web or PDF content into documents, translators or word counters — cleaned text counts accurately and formats properly.
Can I clean a whole document at once?
Yes — paste the entire text; all options apply to everything in the box.
