Remove double spaces, trim ends, and fix smart quotes instantly.
Invisible formatting when copying and pasting between systems and applications can cause real problems. I built this tool so I could clean text before pasting it. The dodgy mac single quotes are especially problematic.
Paste your text into the top box and click Clean Text. The cleaned version appears in the output box below — copy it from there. The original is never modified.
Copied text can contain characters and spacing that are hard to see at a glance.

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Nothing you type or paste is sent to any server — all processing happens locally on your device.
