About these tools
Cleanup & transforms questions
- Why do smart quotes break my code or JSON?
- Word and Google Docs auto-convert straight quotes (") to typographic quotes (" "). In code, JSON, YAML, or URL query strings, only straight quotes parse correctly. Smart quotes are U+2018-U+201D — outside ASCII. Our Text Cleaner normalizes all 8 smart-quote variants (including prime marks and guillemets) back to standard ASCII quotes.
- Does the HTML tag stripper decode entities?
- Yes. Named entities (& < " ) and numeric entities (’ –) both decode to their real characters. Otherwise a stripped meta description would contain literal "&" instead of "&", which would then re-encode in your CMS creating &amp;. The tool also preserves paragraph breaks (block tags become double newlines) so the output reads naturally.
- What's the difference between kebab-case and slug generation?
- Kebab-case is a pure character transformation (spaces→hyphens, lowercase). Slug generation also handles: Unicode transliteration (café→cafe), stop-word removal optional, multi-hyphen collapse, max-length truncation, and special-character stripping. For URL slugs always use a slug generator, not kebab-case alone. Google treats hyphens as word separators; underscores don't separate (per John Mueller's 2017 confirmation).
- Can I use these tools for sensitive content?
- Yes — all transformations run entirely in your browser using vanilla JavaScript. No network calls, no analytics on paste events, nothing uploaded. Safe for client drafts, internal docs, and pre-publication content. (Analytics cookies fire only with your consent for page-level tracking; they never capture tool inputs.)
