overview

Text Cleaner is the tool used by graphic designers, editors and web designers, to reduce text cleanup time to seconds. Em and en dashes, smart quotes and ligatures are set or removed, unwanted spaces, tabs, returns are eliminated, and much more, making search-and-replace prep work a thing of the past.

And unlike search-and-replace, there's no need to perform tasks several times over. Click once, and all cleaning functions are performed simultaneously and in the best possible sequence.

No other text preparation tool functions in such a unique, easy-to-use and intelligent manner. This all happens under the hood because Text Cleaner was meant for you to set it and forget it, although there's plenty to offer power users as well.
