- Paste your list, one item per line.
- Select the cleanups: trim spaces, remove empty lines, remove duplicates, remove special characters, normalize case and sort.
- Press Clean list. Your original input is never changed, so you can adjust the options and run it again.
- Copy the list or download it as TXT, CSV or JSON.
Example

Good for
- Cleaning email, username or keyword lists

Order of operations
Steps always run in this order: trim → remove special characters → normalize case → remove empty lines → remove duplicates → sort. That way duplicates are detected after the text has been normalized.
