How It Works
Paste text that contains emojis, special characters, or formatting issues, then choose which cleanup operations to apply. The tool can remove emojis, convert smart quotes to straight quotes, normalize Unicode characters, remove zero-width spaces, trim extra whitespace, and more. Each option can be toggled individually so you can customize the cleanup to your needs. The tool shows before/after character counts so you can see what was removed. All processing happens in your browser — your text is never sent to any server.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do emojis break websites?
Emojis use Unicode characters that some systems don't handle properly, especially older databases or character encodings. Removing them can prevent display issues.
What are smart quotes?
Smart quotes are curly quotation marks (" ") used by word processors. They can cause issues in code or plain text systems that expect straight quotes (").
What does normalize Unicode mean?
Unicode normalization converts composed characters (like é) to their decomposed form or vice versa, ensuring consistent text representation.
Can I remove only specific types of characters?
Yes! The tool has individual options for removing emojis, smart quotes, special characters, invisible characters, and more. Toggle each option as needed.
What are zero-width spaces?
Zero-width spaces are invisible Unicode characters that can break text parsing or cause formatting issues. This tool detects and removes them.
