About CleanGlyph
CleanGlyph is a collection of fast, privacy-friendly text and Unicode utilities that run entirely in your browser.
Why CleanGlyph exists
Hidden Unicode characters cause real, frustrating problems: spreadsheet lookups that fail, code that won't parse, form fields that reject valid input. Most tools either delete these characters silently or don't show you what they found. CleanGlyph makes them visible first, so you can decide what to change.
Principles
- Local processing. Your text is analyzed in your browser and never sent to a server.
- Transparency. Every change is shown before it is applied.
- Respect for language. Characters with legitimate uses, such as joiners in emoji and many scripts, are never removed without your choice.
- Lightweight. Pages load quickly and work well on mobile devices.
Tools
The first tool is the Invisible Character Detector & Remover. See the tools page for what's planned next.
