Text Cleanup & Filter Tools

• Open the page that matches the change.
• Paste text into its input, or select Upload and use Drop file for a text file.
• Set the visible options for matching, keeping, trimming, or replacing text.
• Read the output before using it elsewhere.
• Select Copy or Download when that control appears.

Choose a text cleanup tool by task

Choose a focused page when one type of text needs changing. Check its output before applying another operation.

• Lines and repeats: Merge Lines joins multiple lines with a chosen separator. Remove Duplicate Lines compares complete lines, Remove Duplicate Words checks repeated words within each line, and Remove Empty Lines removes blank or whitespace-only rows.
• Selected lines: Remove Lines Containing Specific Words filters out lines with chosen words, phrases, or regex patterns. Trim Lines to Max Length shortens each line to a selected character count.
• Characters and markers: Remove Accents / Diacritics converts accented characters to plain text. Remove BOM (Byte Order Mark) removes a leading UTF-8 marker. Remove Non-Printable Characters clears non-printable characters and lets you keep tabs or newlines.
• Markup and punctuation: Remove HTML Tags extracts plain text from pasted or uploaded HTML. Remove Punctuation handles Unicode punctuation and can preserve apostrophes, hyphens, decimal points, or custom marks.
• Character sets and words: Remove Special Characters lets you choose which spaces, newlines, numbers, and extra characters remain. Remove Stop Words removes common English stop words.
• Detected content: Remove Email Addresses removes or replaces common dotted email-address-style tokens. Remove URLs From Text detects web address tokens, with an option for bare domains. Remove Numbers from Text handles digit characters or whole number tokens.
• Several actions: Text Cleaner combines configurable actions with presets for General Text, Documents, Email, AI / Markdown, Code, and Data.

Check matching and replacement options

• Remove Lines Containing Specific Words filters out lines with chosen words, phrases, or regex patterns. Its matching controls include Use regex, Case sensitive, and Trim spaces.
• Remove Duplicate Lines compares complete lines, while Remove Duplicate Words checks repeated words within each line. Both pages include Case sensitive and Trim spaces.
• Trim Lines to Max Length uses a selected maximum character count and can add an ellipsis when a line is shortened.
• Remove Punctuation can remove punctuation or replace matches with spaces. Its options cover apostrophes, hyphens, decimal points, and custom marks.
• Remove Special Characters lets you choose which spaces, newlines, numbers, and extra characters remain. Remove Non-Printable Characters has keep options for tabs or newlines.
• Remove URLs From Text detects web address tokens and can include bare domain-style URLs. Remove Numbers from Text handles digit characters or whole number tokens.

Trim whitespace or line length

Trim Whitespace removes leading and trailing spaces from multiline text and can collapse inner spaces. Trim Lines to Max Length works line by line, takes a selected maximum character count, and can add an ellipsis when a line is shortened. Merge Lines changes line breaks instead of shortening content.

Remove Duplicate Lines keeps the first copy of a repeated line:

alpha

beta

alpha

Remove Empty Lines can clear blank rows before you compare the lines.

Use Text Cleaner for several cleanup actions

Text Cleaner combines configurable actions with presets for General Text, Documents, Email, AI / Markdown, Code, and Data. Change the preset or its action checkboxes, then inspect the output.

Where to use text cleanup tools

• A spreadsheet export contains blank rows and repeated records. Run Remove Empty Lines, then check the result with Remove Duplicate Lines.
• Pasted HTML needs to become readable copy for a document. Remove HTML Tags produces plain text, and Trim Whitespace handles the remaining spacing.
• A system rejects accents, punctuation, or long lines. Use Remove Accents / Diacritics, Remove Punctuation, or Trim Lines to Max Length according to its input rule.

For work outside cleanup, start with Text Tools. Use Text Cleaner for several changes in one run, or choose a focused page when one kind of text needs changing.
