How it works

  1. 1Paste your text. Type or paste the text you want to format into the input box.
  2. 2Choose a preset. Pick Clean Text, Compact Text, Paragraphs, Numbered List, Sort Lines, or Remove Bullets as a starting point.
  3. 3Fine-tune and format. Adjust advanced options such as line endings, indentation, wrapping, and punctuation, then click Format Text.
  4. 4Copy or download. Copy the result, download it as a UTF-8 TXT file, or feed it back into the input.

Best practices

  • Start from a preset: Clean Text for daily cleaning, Compact Text for dense output, Paragraphs for wrapped reading width, Numbered List or Sort Lines for lists, and Remove Bullets for pasted lists.
  • Normalize line endings to LF, CRLF, or CR before moving text between Windows, macOS and Linux.
  • The punctuation rules are conservative — URLs, decimals, emails, times and version numbers are never modified.
  • Removing leading spaces, collapsing runs, or changing line endings may alter code indentation, so review code formatting options carefully.
  • Everything runs locally in your browser — your text is never uploaded, so it is safe to format private or sensitive content.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Text Formatter do?
It cleans and formats plain text with six presets: Clean Text, Compact Text, Paragraphs, Numbered List, Sort Lines and Remove Bullets. You can also fine-tune blank lines, line endings, indentation, wrapping, sorting and punctuation.
How do I clean up messy pasted text?
Paste your text and click Format Text with the Clean Text preset. It fixes repeated spaces, blank-line runs, leading and trailing spaces, and line endings, while keeping paragraph breaks intact.
Can it change line endings?
Yes. You can convert line endings to LF (Unix/macOS), CRLF (Windows) or CR (classic Mac) before or after formatting — handy when moving text between operating systems.
Can it sort or number lines?
Yes. The Sort Lines preset sorts lines alphabetically (optionally case-insensitive and de-duplicated), and the Numbered List preset adds "1. ", "2. " style numbers to each line.
Will it change URLs, decimals or emails?
No. The optional punctuation rules are conservative — URLs, decimals, emails, times and version numbers are left untouched, so formatting never corrupts links or data.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The Text Formatter runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never uploaded or stored, so it is safe to format private or sensitive content.
Does it work with Tamil or other languages?
Yes. The tool supports Unicode text including Tamil, Hindi, English, emoji and mixed-language content, and it preserves all characters exactly.
