Common use cases

  • Cleaning raw input before importing into downstream tools.
  • Running quick browser-based transformations without setup.
  • Standardizing data for reporting and collaboration.

Useful for cleaning pasted content before CSV import, URL parameters, form fields, and logs.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Using unsupported mode names.
  • Expecting punctuation cleanup; this tool only changes line breaks.
  • Forgetting that `single-line` collapses all lines into one space-separated line.
