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.
