// paste-in, junk-out
Your clipboard is full of
invisible garbage.
Copy from Word, Google Docs, or a webpage and you get font tags, tracking spans, and conditional comments riding along for free. Paste it below — the mess comes out the other side as clean text or Markdown. Nothing leaves your browser.

What gets stripped
- MSO conditional comments — the invisible Word/Outlook markup that bloats pasted content
- Inline font and color styling — every span carrying a font-family or color left over from the source
- Tracking and layout spans — empty wrapper tags that do nothing but add noise
- Redundant line breaks and whitespace — collapsed down to normal paragraph spacing
- Smart quotes and dashes — normalized to plain ASCII, if you want it that way
Questions
Does anything get uploaded anywhere?
No. The cleaning happens in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you paste is sent to a server.
Why does pasted Word text look broken elsewhere?
Word and Outlook wrap content in Microsoft Office markup (MSO) meant for their own renderer. Other editors don't understand it, so you get stray fonts, spacing, and empty tags.
What's the difference between Plain text and Markdown mode?
Plain text strips everything down to words and paragraph breaks. Markdown keeps structure — bold, italics, links, headings, and lists — using standard Markdown syntax.
