How to choose Text Tools
Choose a category by what you need to do with the text. Open the matching category, then select the page whose input and output fit the task.
Text analysis tools for inspecting existing text
Use Analyze Tools when you need information about existing text. Its tools cover counts, language detection, pattern testing, readability, text comparison, and Unicode inspection.
- Analyze Tools covers counts, language detection, Unicode properties, regular-expression matches, readability, and related analysis.
- Compare Tools shows differences between two inputs, with separate choices for code, unordered lists, plain text, HTML, LaTeX, and Markdown.
- Data Validation checks submitted values against supported formats such as Base64, IP addresses, phone numbers, URLs, and UUIDs.
Text cleanup, extraction, and conversion
Use a cleanup page for unwanted characters or lines. Use an extraction page for values inside a larger block, and a conversion page when the content needs another representation.
- Clean Tools removes or filters items such as duplicate lines, empty lines, HTML, URLs, numbers, punctuation, accents, and unwanted characters.
- Extract Tools finds emails, URLs, dates, identifiers, structured values, entities, or custom patterns inside text.
- Convert Tools changes text between Braille, ciphers, IPA, Markdown, HTML, Punycode, character codes, writing systems, and Unicode.
Text formatting, generation, and organization
Choose these categories when the text needs a different layout, when you need new sample content, or when the order needs to change.
- Format Tools handles case conversion, line prefixes, indentation, lists, column alignment, wrapping, vertical layouts, Markdown tables, and related formatting actions.
- Generate Tools creates placeholder text, names, fictional identities, identifiers, numbers, quotes, slogans, writing prompts, and other random values.
- Organize Tools sorts complete lines, shuffles their order, or reverses characters and word-like chunks within each line.
- Fancy Text Generator creates selectable Unicode styles such as bold, italic, cursive, gothic, bubble, monospace, spaced, and Zalgo.
Text transformation tools for changing representation
Open Transform Tools when an existing text value needs encoding, repair, normalization, replacement, repetition, or restructuring. The category includes tools for binary, hexadecimal, HTML entities, Morse code, NATO spelling, Roman numerals, slugs, word shuffling, and paragraph splitting or joining.
Clean Tools removes unwanted material. Transform Tools changes how the remaining material is represented. Format Tools changes layout, while Data Validation reports whether a value matches a supported format.
Common tasks for Text Tools
For counts, language detection, pattern testing, or Unicode inspection, open Analyze Tools. For changes between two versions, open Compare Tools.
For imported text, Clean Tools can remove duplicate lines or unwanted characters. Extract Tools can find URLs or dates in a larger block, and Data Validation can check the extracted values.
For documentation, Format Tools covers indentation, wrapping, and Markdown tables. Convert Tools handles content that needs to move between Markdown and HTML.
For display text, Fancy Text Generator creates selectable Unicode styles. Generate Tools creates names, identifiers, prompts, and placeholder content.
How to pick the right text tool
Choose the category by the result you need, then read the selected page's controls before entering data. Use Compare Tools for a difference view, Clean Tools to remove unwanted content, and Transform Tools for encoding, repair, normalization, replacement, or restructuring.
Each child page can have its own input, output, and controls. The category has no single input limit or data-handling rule for every child, so check the selected tool's page for those details.
Frequently asked questions
What are Text Tools used for?
Text Tools are used to inspect, clean, compare, convert, validate, extract, format, generate, organize, and transform text. Choose the child category that matches the result you need.
Which text analysis tools should I use?
Use Analyze Tools when you need counts, language detection, pattern testing, text comparison, or Unicode inspection. Use Compare Tools instead when the main task is viewing differences between two inputs.
What is the difference between text cleanup and text transformation?
Text cleanup removes or filters unwanted content such as duplicate lines, URLs, tags, or punctuation. Text transformation changes representation or structure through operations such as encoding, replacement, normalization, repetition, or paragraph splitting.
Do all Text Tools accept the same input?
No. Each child page can have different inputs, outputs, modes, formats, or other controls. Check the selected tool's page for its own details.
