What the cleaner finds
Markdown leftovers — paste from ChatGPT or Claude and you get
**bold** asterisks, ### headers and bullet marks that make text look
broken in Word, email and forms. Em dashes — the punctuation mark readers now
associate with AI writing. Invisible characters — zero-width spaces and
non-breaking spaces that hide inside copied text and break search, forms and code.
Curly quotes — typographic quotes that some systems reject.

Frequently asked questions
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The analysis and cleanup run entirely inside your browser tab — this site has no server to send text to and makes zero network requests with your content.
Why do em dashes matter?
Nothing is wrong with em dashes — good writers use them. But heavy em-dash use has become a well-known tell of AI-generated text, so many people prefer to swap them for commas or hyphens in emails and posts. The choice is yours; the tool just makes it a one-click edit.
Where do invisible characters come from?
Copy-pasting from websites, PDFs, chat apps and AI tools can carry along zero-width spaces, non-breaking spaces and direction marks. They're invisible but real — they break exact-match searches, overflow character limits, and confuse forms and code.
Does cleaning change my words?
Your words stay as written — cleanup touches formatting and punctuation characters. The only content removed is markdown link URLs and code-fence labels (link text itself is kept). Each category has its own toggle, so you control what gets cleaned.
