AI Text Cleaner - Clean Up AI-Generated Text in One Pass

Paste the answer and get it back in the shape you would have typed it. Every pass at once, and a list of what was actually wrong — because most of it you cannot see.

What to clean
Em dashes become
  1. 1 Invisible characters First: one of these between two asterisks stops the bold being read as bold.
  2. 2 Lookalike letters Cyrillic and Greek letters drawn like Latin ones, put back.
  3. 3 Citations Before Markdown, or a source list would be read as link definitions.
  4. 4 Markdown So the last two work on prose rather than on markup.
  5. 5 Curly quotes Straightened, the way code and CSV expect them.
  6. 6 Em dashes Whatever you picked above, with the spacing rebuilt to suit.

Frequently asked questions

What happens to code blocks and tables?

Both are kept. Fenced code comes through with its contents intact, and nothing inside it is treated as formatting, so an asterisk in your code stays an asterisk. A table comes back as rows with a tab between the cells, which reads sensibly and pastes into a spreadsheet with the columns where they should be. If you would rather drop either of them, the Markdown to Plain Text tool has the switches.

Why did the text come back looking identical?

Read the report rather than the text. Most of what this removes is either invisible or a single character you would scroll straight past, so identical-looking output is the normal case. If the report is empty, your text really was clean and you have ruled something out.

What is the difference between this and the four separate tools?

Coverage against control. This page runs everything with sensible defaults and is the one to use when you just want the text fixed. The single-purpose pages let you decide the awkward cases: whether an en dash in a range should go, whether guillemets are a mistake or correct French, what a link should turn into. Each line of the report links to the relevant one.

Will this make AI writing sound human, or get it past a detector?

No to both, and be suspicious of anything claiming otherwise. There is no language model here - it is find-and-replace with the edge cases thought through, which is why it is instant and free. Detectors score sentence rhythm and how predictable each next word is; punctuation is not part of that arithmetic. What this fixes is text that looks pasted from somewhere else, which is a different problem and usually the one you actually have.

Can I use it on something confidential?

It is JavaScript running in your own browser, so nothing is uploaded, logged or sent anywhere. Open your browser's Network tab and watch while you type if you would rather not take my word for it.
