PasteKlean is a zero-backend, ultra-lightweight system-tray utility that automatically strips formatting, fixes smart quotes, normalizes line endings, and trims whitespace from anything you copy.
PasteKlean lives in your system tray and watches your clipboard. The moment you copy, it can clean — no extra clicks.
Copy text from a web page, email, document, or code snippet — messy formatting and all.
The app reads your clipboard, applies the rules you enabled, and writes the cleaned text back.
Paste anywhere and get plain, predictable text without hidden markup or weird spacing.
Toggle each cleaning rule independently. Use the app manually, automatically, or with a global shortcut.
Enable auto-clean and let PasteKlean sanitize every copy in real time, so your clipboard is always ready.
Trim whitespace, collapse spaces, normalize line endings, strip HTML tags, and remove non-ASCII characters.
Press Ctrl+Shift+C (or set your own) to clean the clipboard instantly from anywhere.
No servers, no analytics, no accounts. Your clipboard never leaves your machine.
PasteKlean is built privacy-first. All cleaning happens locally on your device. There are no external servers, no usage analytics, and no advertising trackers.
Download PasteKlean and keep your clipboard clean, light, and ready to paste.
