About this tool
This page opens the text cleaner with invisible-character removal already enabled — paste the suspicious text, run the tool and get a copy with nothing hidden inside.
Zero-width spaces, zero-width joiners and non-joiners, BOM marks, soft hyphens and directional marks are invisible in every editor, yet they break string comparison, corrupt diffs, sneak into passwords and identifiers, and are a favourite trick for watermarking AI-generated text.
The counter tells you exactly how many hidden characters were found and removed — and if you need the opposite, our invisible text generator creates such characters on purpose. Both tools run entirely in your browser.
Example. Stripping tags from a bold-tagged hello leaves the word hello and increments the removed-tag counter.
Limit. HTML, quotes, dashes, emoji, invisible characters, non-ASCII, and whitespace each apply only when that category is enabled.
