Clipboard Cleaner
Strip formatting on paste
Clipboard Cleaner is on the roadmap. In the meantime, explore the other productivity.
What is Clipboard Cleaner?
Strip rich-text formatting from text in your clipboard — fonts, colours, tracked changes, hyperlink styling — so it pastes as plain text into any field. Useful when copying from Word / Google Docs / a webpage and pasting into a CMS, email composer, or terminal where styled paste produces ugly mismatched fonts or unwanted markup. Works entirely in your browser.
How do I use Clipboard Cleaner?
- Click into the paste zone and press Cmd+V (or Ctrl+V).
- The cleaned plain text appears immediately below.
- Click Copy to put the plain version back on your clipboard.
When should I use Clipboard Cleaner?
Clipboard Cleaner is for stripping styling. To change case (UPPER, lower, Title), use Case Converter. To remove duplicate lines, use Dedup Lines. To convert HTML formatting into Markdown rather than strip it, use HTML to Markdown.
What gets stripped?
All text formatting: fonts, colours, sizes, bold / italic styling, hyperlink anchors, tracked changes, comments, and inline-style attributes. The output is plain UTF-8 text — what you would have if you typed it fresh.
Will line breaks survive?
Yes — newlines and paragraph breaks are preserved. Only inline styling is stripped; structural breaks stay intact.
Why use this instead of "Paste as plain text" in the destination?
Many apps do not expose a "paste as plain text" option, or it is buried in a menu. This tool is a fast keyboard-driven path that works everywhere.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. Your files never leave your device, and there is no server component for this tool.
