What this tool does

Remove leading spaces from each line while optionally preserving structured indentation.

Scan text → detect issues → apply selected cleanup → compare before and after → generate a quality report.

Processing runs locally in your browser. Review important content before replacing the original source.

Example

Paste a paragraph with hidden characters, uneven spaces, tabs, or mixed quotation marks. The tool returns a cleaned version and a compact issue report.

Use cases

  • Clean copied web or document text.
  • Prepare data before CSV, JSON, Markdown, or CMS import.
  • Reduce hidden formatting problems before publishing.
  • Inspect what changed using the report metrics.

Tips for better output

  • Use live preview for short text and manual processing for very large files.
  • Keep line breaks when cleaning paragraphs or code blocks.
  • Download CSV or JSON reports when auditing hidden characters.
  • Run Text Normalizer after specialized cleanup when the source is very messy.

Processing details

The tool counts affected characters and lines, calculates a cleaning score, and stores export data for CSV and JSON reports.

Very large files may take longer in live preview. For best performance, turn off live preview and run manually.
