Clipboard Format Cleaner
About Clipboard Format Cleaner
Clipboard Format Cleaner is a software tool that helps remove text formatting when you are copying and pasting using the Windows clipboard. Normally when you copy from sources such as documents or web pages, the text you copy is formatted in such a way that when you paste it in to your destination the formatting comes across with it. In some circumstances it is not necessary for this to happen. Instead it would be preferable to only copy the plain text.
Clipboard Format Cleaner monitors your clipboard and when it detects text being copied, will automatically remove any formatting. Therefore you can continue copy and paste as normal but any text pasted will not contain formatting.
