TL;DR — paste or upload text, toggle cleanups, copy or download

Advanced Text Cleaner is a fast, privacy‑friendly online text cleaner and text scrubber. It collapses extra spaces, removes empty lines, strips HTML/URLs/emails, converts tabs ↔ spaces, merges broken lines, reflows paragraphs to a wrap width, normalizes Unicode (NFKC), deduplicates repeated words/lines, and changes case. Everything runs in your browser—no uploads.

Advanced Text Cleaner — powerful in‑browser text scrubber and formatter

If you work with pasted drafts, exports, or copy from Google Docs, you know how quickly spacing, punctuation, and invisible characters get out of control. Advanced Text Cleaner fixes that in seconds. Paste or upload your text and choose a preset—Plain Clean for quick hygiene, Article Formatter for web content, Paragraph 80 for hard‑wrapped email style, or Pretty for a neat, readable finish. From there, you can toggle fine‑grained cleanups to match your exact workflow.

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.

How to use the Advanced Text Cleaner

  1. Paste or upload: add text in the left editor or upload a .txt. Pick a preset (Plain Clean, Article Formatter, Paragraph 80, Pretty) to start.
  2. Toggle cleanups: remove extra spaces/lines, strip HTML/URLs/emails, normalize Unicode (NFKC), replace smart quotes/dashes, convert tabs ↔ spaces, merge broken lines, and set a wrap width.
  3. Format: choose lowercase, UPPERCASE, Sentence case, Title Case, or Toggle case; remove duplicate words and lines/paragraphs.
  4. Refine: run Find & Replace with optional case sensitivity; keep or remove lines containing a specific literal term.
  5. Export: check live stats, then copy or download a cleaned .txt.
