Remove Formatting

Paste text copied from a website, Google Doc, Word or PDF and instantly strip all the formatting — fonts, colours, sizes, bold, links and hidden styles — leaving clean plain text you can copy.

Why paste without formatting?

When you copy text from a website or document, invisible formatting comes with it — fonts, colours, sizes, links, even tracked-changes markup. Paste that into an email, CMS or another doc and it clashes with the styling there. This tool throws all of it away and hands back only the words.

  • What it removes: fonts, colours, sizes, bold/italic/underline, background highlights, hyperlinks and hidden inline styles.
  • What it keeps: your actual text and its line breaks.
  • Private by design: it runs entirely in your browser — nothing you paste is ever sent to a server.

Keyboard shortcut: in most apps you can also paste as plain text with Ctrl/⌘ + Shift + V. This page is the reliable fallback when an app ignores that shortcut, or when you want to see the clean text before you copy it.

FAQ

How do I remove formatting from text?

Paste your text into the first box — the clean plain-text version appears in the second box instantly. Tap “Copy plain text” and paste it wherever you need it.

Does this send my text anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you paste leaves your device, so it’s safe for private or sensitive text.

What’s the shortcut to paste without formatting?

In many apps, Ctrl + Shift + V (⌘ + Shift + V on Mac) pastes as plain text. When that doesn’t work — or you want to check the result first — use this tool.

Does it keep line breaks?

Yes — it strips fonts, colours, links and styles but keeps your paragraphs and line breaks so the text stays readable.
