Text Sanitizer

Paste any text below and convert it to the 98-character ASCII whitelist (the 95 printable ASCII characters plus tab, line feed, and carriage return). All processing happens in your browser -- nothing is sent anywhere.

What it does

• Converts smart quotes to straight quotes
• Converts em dashes to double hyphens and en dashes to a single hyphen
• Converts ellipsis to three periods and non-breaking spaces to spaces
• Removes zero-width characters entirely
• Strips everything else that falls outside the whitelist
