Questions about text tools

Common questions from people using these tools.

Is my text stored when I use these tools?

No. The text tools run in your browser and the text you paste is not uploaded. The online notepad is the one exception by design: it saves notes in your browser's local storage so they are still there next time, and it says so on the page.

Which tool fixes line breaks in text copied from a PDF?

Use Add or remove line breaks. Choose "Remove line breaks, keep paragraphs" to join wrapped lines while keeping blank lines between paragraphs.

Can I use the text tools on my phone?

Yes. Every tool works on mobile browsers; results appear directly under the input and have a Copy button.
