Clean Paste (Remove Formatting From Copied Text)
Pasting from websites, PDFs, or emails often brings unwanted formatting with it. Clean Paste removes messy HTML and extra spaces so your text looks consistent wherever you paste it.
Use the defaults for a quick clean, or toggle options if you want to keep or remove line breaks. Everything runs locally in your browser.
