About this app
Make copied text usable again.
TextMend Local cleans awkward line breaks, split words and spacing in text copied from PDFs or OCR output. Compare the source and result side by side, adjust six cleanup rules and edit the result before copying or exporting it.
Join wrapped prose, repair hyphenated line endings, normalize spacing, polish common punctuation, preserve list structure and optionally remove standalone page numbers. A change summary shows what the cleanup changed.
Paste text or open/drop TXT, Markdown and CSV files as plain text. Copy the result or export a TXT/Markdown document. Your latest source, result and preferences are saved locally between sessions; Clear removes the working text. Local storage is not encrypted by TextMend.
No account, subscription, advertising or cloud text processing. Interface in English. Screenshots show included sample text.
TextMend does not perform OCR, extract text directly from PDF/image files, translate or provide AI rewriting. Cleanup uses configurable rules and can change meaningful formatting; review the result and keep an original copy, especially for poetry, tables, code and structured data. CSV is treated as text, not as a spreadsheet.
