Frequently asked questions
What are invisible characters?
Characters such as zero-width spaces, byte-order marks and soft hyphens that you cannot see but that can break search, code or formatting. They often come from copying text from websites or documents.
Is HTML stripping safe?
Yes. Tags are removed as plain text in your browser — the HTML is never run or rendered, and nothing is uploaded.
Why does copied PDF text have broken lines?
PDFs store text line by line as it appears on the page, so copying adds line breaks in the middle of sentences. Whitespace cleaning helps tidy them up.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Cleaning happens in your browser and nothing is sent to our servers.
