AI output arrives full of em dashes, Markdown markers, and invisible characters that break spreadsheets and search. TidyOutput is 16 single-purpose tools that each fix one of those in a paste. Everything runs in your browser as static files, so nothing is uploaded or stored.
I built this because of a small, repeated annoyance. Every time I pasted
ChatGPT or Claude output into a document, I'd spend a minute stripping em
dashes, curly quotes, leftover Markdown, and the occasional invisible
character that quietly breaks a CSV import or an exact-match search.
So I made 16 tools that each do exactly one of those jobs:
• AI Text Cleaner — strips Markdown, normalizes quotes and dashes, removes
hidden characters in one pass
• Invisible Character Remover — shows every zero-width space and directional
mark in place, with its Unicode code point
• ChatGPT Export Viewer — drop in conversations.json from your export and
read or download individual chats
• Markdown → Word, Markdown table → Excel, JSON → CSV, CSV → Markdown
• Transcript timestamp remover, prompt splitter, text anonymizer, and more
The design constraint I actually care about: everything runs in the browser.
The site is static files. There's no server-side processing, no account, and
nothing you paste is uploaded. That's not a privacy policy that could change
next quarter — there's nowhere for the text to go. Open DevTools and the
network panel stays empty while you work.
One thing I learned building the invisible-character tool: the common belief
that AI models watermark output with zero-width characters doesn't hold up.
Generate the same answer twice and the invisible characters don't form a
stable pattern. They're almost always non-breaking spaces the *browser* adds
when you copy from the chat UI. I wrote up the full breakdown here:

It's free and will stay free. Happy to answer anything, and the roadmap is
basically "whatever people keep asking for" — so tell me what's missing.
