Privacy, review, and limitations
The current version processes pasted text in your browser for normal use, and the page explains the tool behavior that is visible in the interface. Review the preview before copying output into another workflow, especially when the source text came from PDFs, spreadsheets, exports, or copied tables.
This tool does not infer special spacing used for code indentation or fixed-width tables.
Review the output before using it with text where multiple spaces are intentionally meaningful.

Human review still matters
Text cleanup can miss source-specific issues such as broken words, malformed data, or copied table artifacts, so review important output before reuse.
Safe use checklist

- Check the output preview before copying it into another system.
- Keep confidential, regulated, or customer data inside approved tools.
