    Step-by-step guides

    How to clean text copied from ChatGPT

    1. Copy the answer from ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot and paste it into the box.
    2. Tick Plain text if you are pasting into Word, Google Docs, email or a form. Leave it off to keep clean Markdown.
    3. Copy the cleaned text. Citation markers and filler lines are removed automatically.

    Why AI text has asterisks and # symbols

    AI chat apps write in Markdown. On screen, **word** shows as bold and ## as a heading, but when you paste into a place that does not understand Markdown, the raw symbols appear. The plain text option removes them, turns bullets into • and keeps links readable.

    Answers that used web search often include markers such as [1], 【4†source】 or small link crumbs. These mean nothing outside the chat window, so the cleaner strips them along with tracking tags like utm_source=chatgpt.com in links.

    Frequently asked questions

    Will it remove parts of my actual content?

    Only the very first line if it is a short opener like "Sure! Here is..." and the last lines if they are sign-offs like "Hope this helps". Everything in between is kept. You can switch this off.

    How do tables come out in plain text?

    Each row becomes a line with cells separated by tabs. When pasted into Word or Google Sheets, the cells land in columns.

    Does this hide that text was written by AI?

    No. It only removes formatting symbols and chat clutter. It does not rewrite your text.
