Pasting from a web page or document often drags along hidden formatting you do not want.
Plain Text Editor is a minimal no-format workspace that keeps only plain text and shows live counts.
How to use Plain Text Editor
- Paste your text into the plain editor.
- Edit freely; the editor holds plain text only, with no bold, links or styling.
- Copy the clean plain text out, or download it as a .txt file.
Use cases
- Stripping rich formatting from pasted content.
- Writing a quick plain-text note with no styling.
- Counting the characters, words and lines in simple text.
Good to know
Plain Text Editor works only with plain characters, so it does not keep bold, links, images or other rich formatting from whatever you paste. The live character, word and line counts update as you type, and the download is always a plain .txt file with no markup.
Frequently asked questions
Does it keep bold, links or images?
No. It is plain text only, so any rich formatting from pasted content is dropped and only the characters remain.
What does the download contain?
A plain .txt file with exactly the characters in the editor and no formatting or styling.
Does it autosave or sync my text?
No. The editor keeps no autosave and does not sync, so copy or download anything you want to keep.
