Inspection
Hidden Character Preview
Suspicious invisible characters are shown as labeled markers so you can see what is hiding inside copied text.
Why It Helps
Hidden formatting can break forms, code snippets, CMS editors, CSV files, newsletter layouts, and social posts. Cleaning it early saves dull manual fixes.
Privacy First
The first version runs entirely in your browser. No accounts, no uploads, and no pasted text stored by the site.
Guide
Why Clean Pasted Text?
Text copied from documents, PDFs, websites, social platforms, email clients, and writing tools can include invisible formatting that is hard to spot. CleanText Shelf helps you inspect that text before it goes into a blog post, form, newsletter, code snippet, support ticket, or public message.
Hidden Characters Can Break Things
Zero-width spaces, non-breaking spaces, directional marks, byte order marks, and soft hyphens can make ordinary text behave strangely. They may break search boxes, form validation, CSV columns, code examples, JSON, Markdown, or content management systems.
Clean Links Before Sharing
Copied links often contain tracking parameters such as UTM values, fbclid, gclid, and campaign identifiers. The cleaner removes common tracking parameters while preserving useful parts of the URL, so the link still works.
Redact Personal Details
When enabled, the redaction option masks common email addresses and phone numbers. This is useful before sharing examples in support tickets, public posts, client messages, or AI prompts. Always review the output yourself.
Private by Design
The current version runs in your browser. Pasted text is processed locally by the page you loaded, not uploaded to a server. That makes the tool useful for everyday cleanup without creating an unnecessary copy of your text online.
Common Uses
- Clean copy before pasting into WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Ghost, or another CMS.
- Inspect text copied from PDFs, spreadsheets, chat apps, or generated drafts.
- Prepare cleaner captions, newsletter snippets, product descriptions, and support replies.
- Debug text that looks normal but fails in a form, script, CSV import, or editor.
