Text Extractor
Extract readable text from pasted document content.
About this tool
Paste messy document content (from PDFs, docs or web pages) and extract clean, readable text: line breaks normalised, extra spaces removed, ready to reuse.
How it works
The extractor applies configurable passes: whitespace collapse, smart line-joining (detecting sentence breaks), edge trimming and optional character cleanup. A diff summary shows how much was cleaned.
How to use Text Extractor
- 1Paste copied text from a PDF, doc or web page.
- 2Choose cleaning options: collapse spaces, fix line breaks, trim lines.
- 3Preview the cleaned text and the changes made.
- 4Copy the clean result.
Examples
Pasted text with ragged line breaks becomes flowing paragraphs.
Double spaces and tabs collapse to single spaces.
Stray symbols from a PDF copy are flagged and removable.
Pro tips
- Use "merge lines" for content copied from PDFs where lines break mid-sentence.
- Keep "trim lines" on for bullet lists and code snippets.
- Combine with the Word Counter to check the cleaned length.
Frequently asked questions
What does it fix?
It collapses repeated whitespace, fixes over-eager line breaks, removes stray tabs and trims edges — the typical mess from copying out of PDFs.
Does it change the content?
Only whitespace and line structure. The actual words are preserved.
Is my content stored?
No. Cleaning happens locally in your browser.
