URLs rot. Left unchecked, entropy fragments link equity, confuses crawlers, and explodes analytics cardinality (thousands of near-duplicates for what should be one page). Read more on: thetexttool.com/blog/remove-ut…

Garbled text isn’t just ugly — it breaks search, analytics, identity matching, and user trust. If you’ve seen é where you expected é, orFrançois instead of François, you’ve met mojibake. Read more on: thetexttool.com/blog/fix-mojib…

Sitemaps and feeds look simple—just XML, right?—until you ship at scale. One team emits ISO-8859-1, another double-encodes URLs, a CMS inserts non-breaking spaces, and your syndication partners suddenly can’t parse your latest posts. Read more at: thetexttool.com/blog/sitemaps-…

Both formats turn binary into text. The right choice depends on whether humans will read the string, what environment will carry it (web, crypto, storage), and which characters that environment allows. thetexttool.com/compare/base58…

Base64 and Base64URL both turn binary data into a safe text representation using a 64-character alphabet. The real difference is where you plan to put the text. thetexttool.com/compare/base64…

The goal is simple—preserve only strings that look like real addresses, normalize them consistently, and remove duplicates before importing into a CRM or mailing tool. This guide gives you a repeatable flow that runs entirely in your browser. thetexttool.com/use-cases/extr…

Most CSV pain isn’t the data—it’s formatting. Trailing spaces, stray blank rows, unescaped commas in descriptions, and mixed line endings cause misaligned columns or partial imports. thetexttool.com/use-cases/prep…

Real-world logs are noisy. Periodic health checks, retry loops, and parallel workers can flood your files with repeated lines. When every minute counts, removing duplicates reduces cognitive load, cuts file size, and reveals the real anomalies faster. thetexttool.com/use-cases/remo…

Slugify turns titles into clean, human-readable path segments using lowercase words separated by hyphens. It’s great for SEO, readability, and shareability. thetexttool.com/compare/slugif…

They’re legitimate in certain scripts and typography, but when pasted into code, JSON, URLs, or IDs, they cause ghost bugs: strings that look identical but don’t match, broken parsers, and confusing diffs. Here’s how to detect and safely remove them: thetexttool.com/blog/remove-in…

Messy text costs time: off-by-one counts, broken imports, unreadable diffs. This checklist gives you a fast, repeatable flow you can use on any snippet, CSV export, config paste, or log file — all with privacy-first tools that run in your browser. thetexttool.com/blog/plaintext…
