Convertisseur de texte brut

How to use the Plain Text Converter
Paste your rich text or HTML into the input box. Choose whether smart quotes (curly quotes) should be converted to straight ASCII quotes — recommended for code, JSON, and CSV destinations. Click Convert. The cleaned output appears with all HTML, formatting, zero-width characters, and tracking artifacts removed.
Pourquoi cet outil est important
Copy-pasting from Word, Google Docs, or web pages drags in invisible HTML, custom fonts, tracking pixels, smart quotes, zero-width spaces, and Microsoft\u2019s mso-* CSS markers. These break CMS layouts, get flagged as spam, and corrupt code. The Plain Text Converter strips everything to pure ASCII-safe content that pastes cleanly into any system.
Cas d'utilisation courants

- Removing tracking and styling from emails before quoting them
- Cleaning copy before pasting into code, JSON files, or CSV exports
- Stripping smart quotes that break Python, JavaScript, and YAML strings

Foire aux questions
Why does my pasted text look fine but break my CMS?
Microsoft Word and Google Docs paste invisible CSS markers (mso-* properties) and span tags. They are invisible in display but expand to hundreds of bytes of code in your CMS. Always run through a plain-text converter first.
Should I always strip smart quotes?
For social media, blog body copy, and email body text — no, they look more professional. For code, JSON, CSV, YAML, command line, and email subject lines — yes, smart quotes break things.
Will this remove emoji?
No. Emoji are valid Unicode characters and remain in the output. We only strip formatting markup and invisible control characters.
Can I use this for SEO content prep?
Yes. Clean plain text imports cleanly into your CMS and avoids the inherited styling that often breaks responsive layouts.
