Copying from a word processor or website often drags along things you can’t see: “curly” quotes, en/em dashes, a literal ellipsis character, non-breaking spaces, and zero-width characters that silently break search, diffs and code. This tool normalises all of that to predictable ASCII and tidy whitespace.
Toggle exactly what you want — convert smart punctuation, remove invisible characters, collapse repeated spaces and blank lines, or flatten everything to a single line. It runs entirely in your browser, so you can safely paste private text.
