What does the cleaner change by default?

Only whitespace: line endings, spaces at the ends of lines, runs of spaces, runs of blank lines, and the start and end of the whole text. No letters, digits or punctuation are removed.

Why are there invisible characters in my text?

Text copied from web pages, PDFs and chat apps often contains zero-width spaces, soft hyphens or byte-order marks. They are invisible but can break searches, code and spreadsheets.

Will removing punctuation also remove apostrophes and hyphens?

Yes. The option removes all punctuation and symbols, including apostrophes and hyphens inside words. Use it only when you want that.

Can I undo a clean-up?

Your original text stays in the input box, so untick an option or copy the input again. Clear all offers an Undo button for a few seconds.

Is the text uploaded?

No. The cleaning runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
