What you can do here

Text is messy: lists with duplicates, copied paragraphs full of double spaces and hidden characters, names in the wrong case, emails buried in a long message. Each of these tools solves one of those jobs directly, so you do not have to write a formula or a script for a two-minute task.

Everything runs in your browser as you type, and the text you paste is never uploaded, which is useful when it contains customer lists, contracts or personal data. Most tools also show what changed, so you can trust the result before you copy it.

  • Clean: remove extra spaces, empty lines, duplicates, accents, emojis, punctuation or formatting.
  • Transform: change case, sort, shuffle or reverse lines, number them, add prefixes or convert line endings.
  • Extract: pull out emails, links, phone numbers, hashtags or numbers from any text.
  • Analyse: count words and characters, estimate reading time, compare two texts or inspect hidden Unicode.

Frequently asked questions

Is my text sent anywhere?
No. The text is processed inside your browser and never leaves your device.
Is there a limit on text length?
There is no fixed limit. Very long texts of millions of characters can slow the page, because your device does the work.
Can I process many lines at once?
Yes. Most tools are designed for lists and paragraphs, and handle thousands of lines in a fraction of a second.
How do I remove hidden characters from copied text?
Use the clean text tool, which removes zero-width spaces, non-breaking spaces and other invisible characters, or the invisible character detector to see them first.
Do the tools work with accents and other languages?
Yes. They handle Unicode, so accents, non-Latin alphabets and emoji work correctly.
