About Google Docs & Claude Watermark Cleaner
When copying text from Google Docs, Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Word, or PDFs, hidden Unicode characters like zero-width spaces, soft hyphens, non-breaking spaces, and directional isolates often get secretly embedded into your content. This tool scrubs all invisible marks while keeping your headings, paragraphs, bullet points, and formatting 100% intact.

- Paste your text directly from Google Docs, Word, or AI chats into the left box. Headings and bold styling are visually preserved.
- Select options to choose which invisible characters, quotes, or dashes to sanitize.
- Click Clean Text to produce a clean version with exact same document elements.
- Click Copy Formatted (Google Docs / Word) to paste directly back into Google Docs or WordPress Gutenberg with all headings intact, or click Copy Plain Text for raw text.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will cleaning my text remove my headings or formatting?
No. This tool cleans text nodes deep within the document DOM tree without modifying HTML structure, so your H1, H2, H3, paragraphs, and lists stay completely preserved.
How do I paste the cleaned text back into Google Docs?
Simply click the Copy Formatted (Google Docs / Word) button. It sends rich HTML data to your clipboard so Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and CMS editors retain all original headings and formatting.
What is a soft hyphen (U+00AD)?
Soft hyphens are invisible characters inserted by PDF viewers and word processors for line breaks. When copied into websites or code, they can break search indexing and character counts. This tool eliminates them completely.
Is my text processed securely?
Yes. All scanning and cleaning happens 100% locally in your web browser via client-side JavaScript. Your text is never stored or uploaded to any server.
