Available Cleanup Operations
| Operation | What It Does | Best For |

| Remove Empty Lines | Delete blank lines | Code, data files |
| Remove Duplicates | Deduplicate identical lines | Lists, log files |
| Trim Whitespace | Remove leading/trailing spaces | Data cleanup |
| Remove Special Chars | Strip non-alphanumeric | Slug creation, IDs |
⚡ Power User Tip
Operations are applied in order from top to bottom. For best results, remove duplicates after trimming whitespace—otherwise "apple " and "apple" would be seen as different.
When to Use Text Cleaner
Data Preparation
Before importing data into spreadsheets, databases, or applications, clean it here first. Remove duplicates, trim whitespace, and normalize formatting to prevent import errors.
Content Migration
Moving content between systems often introduces formatting artifacts. Clean up legacy content before publishing to new platforms.
Code Cleanup
Remove excessive blank lines, trailing whitespace, and duplicate imports. While IDEs have linters, quick paste-and-clean is often faster for one-off tasks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I undo operations individually?
Operations are applied in sequence. If you need to experiment, copy your original text first. Each "Clean" action processes all enabled options together.
Does order matter?
Yes! For example, removing extra spaces before removing special characters produces different results than the reverse. The interface processes from top option to bottom.
Will it remove formatting like bold or italic?
This tool handles plain text only. HTML tags, markdown syntax, or rich text formatting are treated as text characters. Use dedicated formatters for structured data.
