How to use Text Cleaner
- Paste the text or markup to clean.
- Choose the cleanup options and review the plain-text result.
Things to check
Removing markup or characters can also remove formatting or content you intended to keep.
Example task: Recover readable text from unwanted markup
Select only the cleanup options needed for the pasted content. When removing HTML, inspect whether the words and their boundaries remain readable.
Check the result: Links, punctuation, line breaks, or symbols may carry useful information. Removing markup is not a security audit or a complete HTML parsing workflow.

What you get
Cleaned plain text for copying or download
Common questions and troubleshooting
Can removing punctuation or HTML damage the meaning?
Yes. Punctuation, mathematical signs, and line breaks can carry essential meaning. Choose only the cleanup operations you need and compare words at removed tag boundaries. This is a text-cleanup utility, not an HTML sanitizer or security checker; do not treat its output as trusted executable markup.
