Why text copied from Google Docs often breaks formatting

When you copy text from Google Docs, it often contains invisible Unicode characters, non-breaking spaces, and inconsistent whitespace that are not visible on screen.

These hidden characters are added by Google Docs to support formatting, smart features, and language handling. When pasted into other tools, websites, code editors, or databases, they can cause broken layouts, failed text comparisons, and unexpected spacing issues.

This page automatically cleans text copied from Google Docs by removing invisible characters, converting non-breaking spaces into regular spaces, and normalizing whitespace. The result is clean, predictable text that works correctly in any application.
