Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the output on social media?
Yes. Copy the transformed text into bios, captions, and messages. Test in your target app first because some platforms normalize or strip special Unicode.
Will this work on mobile devices?
Most styles use standard Unicode supported on modern iOS and Android apps. Decorative combining-mark styles may render differently — prefer mathematical Unicode styles for usernames.
What are invisible characters?
Invisible characters are Unicode characters like zero-width spaces that don't display visually but are present in the text and can cause formatting issues.
Will cleaning remove my intentional formatting?
Each cleaning option is a separate toggle. Only enable the ones you need to avoid removing intentional formatting.
Can I use this to clean code?
Yes! Use 'Fix Smart Quotes' and 'Tabs to Spaces' for code cleaning. Avoid 'Remove Special Characters' for code.
Does it handle copy-pasted text from Word?
Yes! Enable 'Fix Smart Quotes', 'Remove HTML Tags', and 'Remove Extra Spaces' for best results with Word-pasted text.
