Frequently Asked Questions
Why does copied PDF text have extra line breaks?
PDFs store text in visual coordinates rather than reflowable paragraphs. When you copy text from a PDF, the clipboard often captures hard line breaks at the end of each physical column line.
How does "Fix PDF (Keep Paragraphs)" work?
The algorithm detects single line breaks (which are accidental wrap breaks) and replaces them with spaces, while keeping double line breaks (which mark genuine paragraph boundaries) intact.
Is my text sent to any server?
No. The entire cleaning algorithm runs directly in your browser. 0 bytes are uploaded, ensuring 100% privacy for confidential documents and emails.
Can I convert a list into comma-separated values?
Yes! Select the "Replace with Commas" mode to turn a vertical list of items into a clean comma-separated list ready for SQL or spreadsheets.
