PasteCleaner

AI text cleaner

Copying from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any AI assistant often drags along invisible characters, curly quotes, non-breaking spaces, and heavy em-dash formatting. Paste it here to normalize everything into plain, predictable text — and see exactly what was embedded.

About this tool

AI chat interfaces render rich text, and rich text travels badly. Copied output routinely contains non-breaking spaces that break spreadsheet formulas, smart quotes that break code, em dashes a style guide may not want, and occasionally zero-width or tag characters you can’t see at all. This cleaner normalizes the characters — it never rewrites, rephrases, or touches your wording. The Findings tab gives you a full inventory of what was embedded in the paste, chip by chip, before you copy the cleaned version into your CMS, codebase, spreadsheet, or email.

Questions, answered

What hidden characters does AI-generated text contain?

Commonly: non-breaking and narrow spaces, curly quotes and apostrophes, em dashes, and ellipsis characters from the chat renderer. Depending on where the text has traveled, zero-width spaces and other invisible Unicode can be present too. The Findings tab shows exactly what's in yours.

Does this rewrite or paraphrase my text?

No. It's a character-level normalizer: words, sentences, and meaning are untouched. Only individual Unicode characters are replaced or removed, and every change is itemized.

Which AI tools does it work with?

Any of them — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Perplexity, or anything else. It operates on the pasted text itself, so the source doesn't matter.
