Paste Cleaner — Tidy Pasted Text, Privately

Strip hidden characters and repair broken formatting from copied text, keeping the styling you want. All local, no uploads.

Paste anything in; get clean text out. Everything happens on your computer - no uploads, no account, no tracking, and the extension requests no permissions at all. - Removes invisible characters (including the hidden kinds sometimes used as AI watermarks), counted and named so you can see what changed - Fixes formatting that breaks when copying from AI chats into Gmail, Word or Docs - no more columns, giant fonts or broken lists - Keeps what matters: bold, italics, underline, links, lists, line breaks, and optionally headings - Copy the result as rich text, plain text or Markdown - Careful with real writing: emoji, Arabic, Persian, Indic scripts and other living orthographies pass through untouched - Optional toggles: straighten smart quotes, replace em-dashes - Keyboard shortcut to open it instantly Honest scope: this tool removes hidden characters and repairs markup. AI text watermarks of the statistical kind live in word choice, not characters, so no character-level cleaner can remove them - and we do not claim to.
