What the tool cleans
Hidden characters that can travel with copied text, including zero-width spaces and soft hyphens.
Unusual spacing and optional directional formatting, with sensitive text controls kept off by default.
Recognized C2PA, EXIF, XMP, text, editor, generator, and comment metadata in supported image files.
Designed for careful cleanup
Inspect the content first, choose the cleanup options you need, and compare the verified result. Emoji sequences, complex-script joiners, directional text, and image color profiles are preserved where possible.
Four-step workflow
Open the Text cleaner for copied text, or choose File metadata for a supported image file.
Paste text or select a file. CopyBox lists each detected item without uploading the content.
Check which characters or metadata can be removed and which formatting is preserved to protect visible content.
Run the cleaner, review the verification result, then copy the cleaned text or download the cleaned file.
Frequently asked questions
It cleans supported invisible Unicode characters from pasted text and removes recognized C2PA, EXIF, XMP, editor, generator, text, and comment metadata from supported image files.
No. Text inspection and supported metadata cleanup run locally in your browser. CopyBox does not send the content selected in this tool to a server.
The cleaner checks zero-width spaces, soft hyphens, standalone joiners, invisible operators, unusual Unicode spaces, directional controls, invalid tag characters, and other non-printing interchange characters.
CopyBox preserves joiners and variation selectors when they participate in emoji or complex-script sequences. Directional controls are also preserved unless you explicitly enable advanced directional cleanup.
The browser tool supports PNG, JPEG, WebP, and SVG files up to 25 MB. It removes recognized text, EXIF, XMP, editor, comment, and C2PA metadata while preserving color profiles where possible.
The tool rewrites metadata containers instead of regenerating image pixels. It preserves image data and color profiles where possible, but you should still review the downloaded file before publishing it.
