Try it live → What It Does Text Free solves a specific problem: removing the same paragraph or sentence that appears repeatedly throughout a document — like disclaimers, watermarks, or injected ad text. Paste your full document Paste the repeated paragraph you want removed Click Clean Text Copy the result That's it. No sign-up, no ads, no tracking. Features Instant cleaning — text processing happens client-side with zero delay Built-in metrics — Firebase-powered usage tracking (hidden in deployed UI, re-enable easily) Mobile responsive — fully usable on phones and tablets Copy to clipboard — one-click result copying Single file — the entire app is one index.html Tech Stack Layer Technology Frontend HTML, JavaScript, Tailwind CSS Metrics Firebase Firestore (real-time) Hosting Vercel Fonts Inter (Google Fonts) Icons Font Awesome 6 Self-Hosting Prerequisites A Firebase project with Firestore enabled A Vercel account (or any static host) 1.
