Why copied text often looks broken

Text copied from PDFs, emails, documents, or websites often contains hidden formatting.

When pasted into editors, forms, or CMS systems, this formatting causes extra spaces, broken lines, and invisible characters that make the text hard to use.

The solution

This page automatically fixes common copy-paste formatting issues by normalizing whitespace, removing extra spaces, and deleting invisible characters without changing the text content.
