Text: overview and choosing the right tool
The text tools help count, clean, and simplify text, HTML, and Markdown. They are useful for editorial work, support, documentation, SEO, content migrations, and quick checks before publishing or further processing.
When content comes from a CMS, email, ticket system, or Markdown file, hidden tags, formatting, and edge cases often get in the way. The tools turn that input into readable, copyable, and easier-to-compare text.
How to choose the right tool
Check the result
For important data, compare the result with a small example or known reference value, especially when rounding, formatting, or file size matters.
Consider privacy
For sensitive content, browser-based tools are especially useful because inputs or files are usually processed locally and do not need to be prepared for an account.
Common tasks
Check text length
Check words, characters, lines, paragraphs, reading time, and speaking time before using copy in ads, snippets, or documents.
Remove markup
Convert HTML or Markdown to plain text when content needs to be copied into emails, spreadsheets, tickets, or other systems.
Clean content
Reduce unnecessary formatting and prepare content before it is compared, indexed, or processed further.
