FAQ
Will cleaning text affect the meaning?
No, the cleaner only removes formatting and whitespace, not actual content. However, removing line breaks might affect text that relies on specific formatting like poetry or code.
Can I undo the cleaning?
The original text remains in the input field until you clear it. Simply copy from the original field if you need the uncleaned version.
Does stripping HTML also remove content inside tags?
The tool removes the HTML tags themselves but preserves the text content within them. Script and style tags along with their contents are completely removed.
