01 · Paste your messy text
Paste your draft straight from Word, a web page, an AI tool, or a publishing dashboard.
Text copied from Word, web pages, phone notes, and AI chats often brings extra blank lines, messy quotes, zero-width characters, and stray spaces with it. This formatter uses rules to clean up the appearance only; your words stay yours.

Paste your draft straight from Word, a web page, an AI tool, or a publishing dashboard.
Check only the rules you need: blank lines, punctuation, quotes, zero-width characters, and spacing.
See word counts before and after plus a list of changes, then copy the clean text into your editor or submission form when it looks right.
Applies the general cleanup rules with fiction-friendly paragraph spacing, so chapters read cleanly on screen.
Clears extra whitespace, invisible characters, and broken line breaks that often come with copying from a dashboard.
Fixes repeated punctuation and standardizes ellipses, so punctuation stays consistent from start to finish.
Turns messy straight quotes into clean curly quotes (“ ” and ‘ ’) for dialogue and narration.
Removes hidden characters you can't see but that can affect publishing, formatting, or word counts.
Shows how many times each rule fired, so you know exactly what the tool changed.
By default, it only adjusts formatting and punctuation. It doesn't rewrite sentences or add story content. Give dialogue and special symbols a quick look afterward.
Formatting is a rules problem. A rules engine is more predictable, costs less, and makes it easy to trace exactly what changed, step by step.
Text from Word, Feishu, web dashboards, phone notes, AI chats, Markdown, and web-novel platform editors.
Yes. Every rule is optional; check only the ones you need, so special formatting stays untouched.
No. Cleanup runs locally in your browser, so your text is never uploaded, kept long term, or used for training. It only returns the result of this cleanup.
These tools handle the concrete problems before you publish: typos, AI feel, naming, formatting, and duplicate content.
