📄

PDF Copy-paste

PDFs often add a line break at every sentence end. The PDF preset removes all breaks and joins text into clean readable paragraphs.

📧

Email Cleanup

Forwarded emails add `>` markers and break lines at 72 chars. The email preset trims each line and removes the extra wrapping.

🌐

Web Page Copy

Web content pasted into a text editor carries inconsistent spacing, smart quotes, and soft hyphens. The web preset handles all of these.

📝

Word Documents

Word adds non-breaking spaces, smart quotes, and em-dashes. The full clean preset normalises all of these to standard ASCII equivalents.
