Clean copy tools for content editors
Moving text between a site, a newsletter and a document should take seconds. In practice the pasted text brings its fonts, colours, buttons and invisible styles, and cleaning it takes longer than writing.
CleanCopy gives back the article only, ready to paste as formatted text, Markdown or plain text. Web2Document turns a page into a clean PDF, Word file and Markdown when you need a file instead.
What you can get done
- CleanCopy
Paste clean text into any editor
Paste a link or the messy text you copied. The free preview shows the first part of the clean article; the run unlocks the whole text with a copy-as-formatted-text button, plus Markdown and plain text for site editors and newsletters.
Open CleanCopy - Web2Document
Hand a page over as a document
When a client or a colleague needs the page as a file, paste its address and get a PDF, a Word file and Markdown with the same headings, pictures and tables.

Frequently asked questions
Does the copy keep links?
Yes. Links are kept with their full addresses; only safe web and e-mail links are copied.
Does it work with right-to-left text?
Yes. Arabic articles keep their direction in the formatted text, the HTML file and the preview.
What does one copy cost?
One unit for one article. Nothing is taken until the files are created.
