Frequently Asked Questions
What characters does this tool remove?
By default, this tool removes all punctuation marks (like !, @, #, $, %) and special symbols. You can customize the output by toggling options to keep only letters, numbers, spaces, or line breaks depending on your needs.
Will this tool remove spaces?
It removes spaces only if you turn off the 'Keep Spaces' option. By default, spaces are preserved so your words remain readable. You can also choose to keep line breaks if you want to maintain the paragraph structure.
Can I use this to create URL slugs or IDs?
Yes. Simply select 'Keep Letters', 'Keep Numbers', and 'Keep Spaces' (then replace spaces with hyphens if needed), or turn off spaces to create a continuous string suitable for IDs or clean filenames.
