Clean Slate Text Stripper
Remove simple HTML tags, common URL tracking parameters and repeated whitespace from pasted plain text.
About the Clean Slate Text Stripper
This text stripper cleans pasted plain text with three independent options: remove simple HTML tags, remove common tracking parameters from HTTP and HTTPS URLs, and collapse repeated spaces or tabs. Other URL parameters and fragments are preserved. It is useful for cleaning snippets and links before copying them elsewhere. The HTML option uses a simple tag pattern; it is not a complete HTML parser, entity decoder, document converter or security sanitizer.
Features

Frequently asked questions
Which tracking parameters are removed?
Parameters beginning with utm_, plus fbclid, gclid, mc_cid, mc_eid, _ga and _gl. Other parameters are preserved because they may be needed by the destination page.
Does this safely sanitize HTML for a website?
No. It removes simple tag patterns for plain-text cleanup. Use a dedicated HTML sanitizer before rendering untrusted HTML.
Can I upload a Word document or PDF?
No. Copy the text from the document and paste it here. Rich document formatting is not imported.
