Remove Text Formatting

When you copy text from websites, Word documents, or PDFs, it often comes with invisible formatting: font styles, sizes, colors, line breaks, and special Unicode characters. This can cause problems when pasting into plain text editors, forms, or databases.

Common Problems Solved

• Weird Line Breaks: Text copied from PDFs often has random breaks mid-sentence.
• Smart Quotes: Curly quotes (") that don't work in code or databases.
• Hidden Characters: Zero-width spaces, soft hyphens, or other invisible formatting.
• Accents & Diacritics: Removing accent marks to get plain ASCII letters.
