Frequently asked questions
Why does text copied from PDFs have broken lines?
PDFs store text as positioned lines, so copying keeps a hard line break at the end of every visual line. Tick “Remove all line breaks” to join them into flowing text.
What does “smart quotes to plain” do?
It converts curly quotes (“ ” ‘ ’), en and em dashes and the ellipsis character into plain keyboard characters. This avoids odd symbols in code, CSV files and older software.
Will removing non-ASCII delete Hindi text?
Yes — non-ASCII removal keeps only basic English letters, digits and symbols. Leave it unticked if your text contains Hindi, ₹ or other Unicode characters.
How do I remove extra spaces from text?
Paste your text and tick the option to collapse multiple spaces; double spaces and trailing spaces are removed instantly.
How do I strip HTML tags from text?
Tick Strip HTML tags and only the visible text remains, without the markup.
How do I remove emoji from text?
Tick Remove emoji and all emoji characters are deleted while the rest of the text stays.
