Frequently asked questions

Why does ChatGPT text paste with asterisks and hashes?

Chatbots write Markdown. The chat window renders it, but many apps paste the raw symbols. This tool converts it to clean formatting and copies it as rich text.

How do I paste ChatGPT output into Word or Google Docs with formatting?

Format it here, then use Export → Clipboard. Headings, bold text and lists paste as real formatting. Or download a .docx file.

Does it rewrite the answer?

No. It cleans up formatting only. To remove AI-sounding phrasing like em dashes and “delve”, use the AI slop fixer.

Does it work with Claude, Gemini and Copilot?

Yes. Any AI chat output works.
