About the AI Text Cleaner

Text copied out of an AI assistant carries formatting that does not survive the journey. Markdown asterisks and hashes turn into literal characters in a CMS field, curly quotes and em dashes break a CSV or a code comment, and non-breaking spaces and zero-width characters ride along invisibly, showing up later as mysterious diffs or as a search that will not match.

Paste the text and pick what to remove. Each cleaner is a separate switch — strip markdown syntax, straighten quotes and dashes, normalise whitespace, remove emoji, collapse blank lines, drop invisible Unicode — and a counter shows how many characters each one changed, so you can see exactly what was in there. The zero-width pass is the one people are usually surprised by: those characters are genuinely invisible in every editor, and this is the quickest way to find out whether your text has them.

Key features of the AI Text Cleaner

Each cleaner is a separate switch

Strip markdown, straighten quotes and dashes, normalise whitespace, remove emoji, collapse blank lines or drop invisible Unicode — independently.

Zero-width character removal

Those characters are genuinely invisible in every editor, and this is the quickest way to find out whether your text has them.

Change report

A counter shows how many characters each cleaner changed, so you can see exactly what was in there.

Quotes and dashes straightened

Curly quotes and em dashes that break a CSV or a code comment become their plain ASCII equivalents.

Markdown flattened properly

Asterisks and hashes are removed rather than left as literal characters in a CMS field.

Frequently asked questions

They are Unicode characters with no visible width, such as the zero-width space and the byte order mark. They arrive through copy and paste from web pages and rich text, and they break exact-match searches and produce diffs that look identical on screen.
