Frequently asked questions
What are invisible characters?
They include zero-width marks, non-breaking spaces and other Unicode characters that may not appear visibly but can affect search, copying or code.
Can removing hidden characters change my text?
Yes. Removing them can alter spacing, text direction or emoji sequences. Review the cleaned output before using it.
Does the cleaner change text on my device automatically?
No. It processes the text you paste and shows the result for you to review and copy.
