Frequently asked questions

How do I remove extra spaces from text?

Paste it above and click Clean text. Runs of spaces and tabs become single spaces, and spacing around punctuation is fixed.

Will it change my wording?

No. It fixes whitespace, symbols, obvious typos and duplicated passages, but keeps your words and meaning.

Can it remove duplicate lines?

Yes, passages that were accidentally pasted twice in a row are removed.

Is my text stored?

No. It’s processed in real time and never saved.
