Guides for cleaning and converting text

Start with what you are trying to do. Each guide shows the steps, the tools to open, and the things to check before copying a result.

  1. Clean up text copied from a PDF

    Repair hard line wraps, review split words and remove stray spaces from copied PDF text without losing paragraph breaks.

  2. Diagnose broken accents and invisible characters

    Learn when to repair mojibake, inspect hidden Unicode marks, or normalize two visually identical strings.

  3. Format a title and turn it into a URL slug

    Choose sentence or title case, protect acronyms and brand names, and generate a readable URL slug for a page.

  4. Prepare pasted lists, CSV and TSV tables

    Decide whether your paste is a list, a delimited table or JSON, then choose the right cleanup or conversion.

  5. Review a text change before sharing

    Preview a find-and-replace, compare versions, and check length and repeated words before copying a revised draft.

  6. Prepare JSON, Markdown tables and HTML text

    Check JSON syntax, make a readable table for documentation, and escape literal characters for HTML text.
