# The Problem with Formatted Text
When you copy text from a website, a PDF, or an email and paste it into Word, Google Docs, or any editor, you bring along invisible formatting: bold, colours, fonts, tabs, non-breaking spaces, and stray line breaks. The result is dirty text that you have to clean up character by character.This stripper intercepts the text at the moment of paste and automatically applies all the necessary normalisation: it collapses multiple spaces, removes spaces before punctuation marks, and produces clean plain text ready to use. 100% Private & Local
