How it works

What the presets remove
Punctuation removes marks such as commas, periods, quotes, brackets and dashes, using Unicode punctuation rules so accented and non-Latin text is handled correctly. Digits removes 0–9 and other decimal digits, which is handy for stripping order numbers or counts from copied lists.
Symbols removes currency, math and pictographic symbols such as $, +, © and emoji modifiers, while Spaces removes space and tab characters but keeps line breaks so your lines stay separate. Custom removes exactly the characters you type, for example @#_ removes only those three.
Cleaning pasted text
Use it to clean data before pasting into code, spreadsheets or forms: strip punctuation from product codes, remove digits from names, or delete stray symbols from OCR output. Each Unicode character is processed safely, so emoji and combined accents are never split in half.
The tool counts how many characters were removed and how long the result is. If nothing matches, the text is returned unchanged so you can try a different preset without losing anything.
Private by design
Removal happens entirely in your browser with no server, queue or account. Your drafts, codes and personal notes never leave your device and disappear when you close the tab.
There is no upload limit to hit and no history kept: open the tool, clean your text, copy or download the result and you are done. The app itself may be cached for offline use, never your documents.
Questions
Is my text uploaded?
No. Characters are removed inside your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
What is the difference between punctuation and symbols?
Punctuation covers marks like , . ! ? : ; quotes and brackets. Symbols covers $, +, =, ©, ® and similar signs. Use Custom when you only want specific characters gone.
Does it keep line breaks?
Yes, except the Spaces preset only removes spaces and tabs. Line breaks are preserved so lists stay on separate lines.
Is it free?
Yes. Free to use with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limits.
