What is the Character Remover?

The Character Remover strips unwanted characters from your text based on a custom list. It is useful for cleaning data exports, removing punctuation from scraped content, or normalising input before analysis. You can remove specific symbols, letters, or any characters that should not appear in the final result.

This tool operates entirely in the browser, so sensitive text stays private. For details on text cleaning, see string processing.

How to use the Character Remover

Paste your source text into the main editor. Enter the characters you want removed in the secondary field. Click Apply to process the text. The output updates instantly, and you can copy it back to your editor or use Plain Text to clear any remaining formatting.

If you need to remove spaces as well, combine this with the whitespace remover tool for a fully cleaned result.
