Whitespace & HTML Cleaner

About the Whitespace & HTML Cleaner

Content copied from a web page or document often arrives dragging hidden HTML tags and messy whitespace along with it — which then breaks formatting when you paste it somewhere clean. Stripping it back to plain, tidy text is exactly what you need.

This Whitespace and HTML Cleaner removes HTML tags and normalises whitespace from pasted content, giving you clean plain text ready to reuse.

How to use the Whitespace & HTML Cleaner

1. Paste your content, tags and all.
2. The tool strips HTML tags.
3. It normalises the whitespace.
4. Copy the clean plain text.

How the Whitespace & HTML Cleaner works

This tool analyses your text in real time using clear, consistent rules for counting words, characters, sentences and paragraphs, and for transformations such as case conversion and cleaning. Where readability is measured, it uses established formulas such as Flesch reading ease. All processing happens in your browser as you type, so nothing you write is uploaded.

Tips & best practices

• This is perfect for pasting web content into a plain-text field or a CMS without dragging in stray markup.
• After stripping tags, the whitespace cleanup leaves neat, single-spaced text.
• Keep the original if you need any of the formatting back later.

Standards & accuracy
