- Turning pasted HTML into plain text

What are invisible characters?
Text copied from the web often contains characters you can’t see — zero-width spaces, soft hyphens, byte-order marks and control characters. They can break search, sorting, form validation and code. The cleaner removes them while keeping tabs and line breaks.

Questions about Text Cleaner
More answers in the TextVix FAQ.
Will the text cleaner change my words?
No. It only changes whitespace and invisible characters — plus quotes and HTML tags if you turn those options on.
Is stripping HTML safe?
Yes. TextVix treats your input strictly as text. HTML is removed with text processing and is never rendered or executed.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your text and files are never sent to a server or stored.
