A browser-based workbench for cleaning copied text, repairing PDF formatting, stripping HTML, inspecting Unicode, and more.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-12 issue.

For: People cleaning copied PDFs, HTML, lists, and AI-formatted text
Worth noticing: Its destructive options warn that removing non-ASCII characters deletes accented letters and all non-Latin writing systems.

Field notes

The workbench exposes controls for spacing, line breaks, case, quotes, Unicode normalization, duplicate lines, Markdown, HTML, and encoded text. A result report and exact before-and-after diff are offered after processing; the page cautions that some removals can delete meaningful material, including accented and non-Latin characters. Separate focused pages are listed for common jobs, with practical examples and limits.
