Overview

A text cleaner is a simple utility that removes unwanted formatting from copied or pasted content. It can strip HTML tags, remove extra spacing, decode entities, and clean up messy text from websites, documents, or rich text editors.

It is especially useful when working with content that has been copied from different sources, where formatting inconsistencies make the text harder to read or use.

Developers, writers, and SEO professionals often use text cleaners to prepare clean, consistent text for publishing, editing, or analysis.
