About

Clear Text — Сlear the formatting from the selected text in one click.
 Tired of messy formatting when copying material from websites?
 Clear Text helps you remove format text instantly. This lightweight Chrome extension cleans up content, strips hidden styles, and delivers plain, minimal output — fast, simple, and secure.
✨ The Fastest Way to Remove Formatting When Copying
Every time you transfer content from a webpage, you also bring along hidden HTML, fonts, colors, and inline styles. This "junk code" can break layouts in Google Docs, Notion, or email. Clear Text solves this by cleaning your selection when you copy — not after pasting.
✅ How It Works
When you select content, the extension uses the Clipboard API to extract only the plaintext version. If the API is blocked , it falls back to a secure method using a temporary textarea — ensuring compatibility everywhere.
 It acts as an HTML stripper, removing all markup, scripts, and inline styles. The result? Clean, readable content — perfect for reuse.

No windows. No settings. Just right-click → copy and paste clear text.
ClearText integrates directly into the context menu to clear the formatting from the selected text instantly.
