Get Plain Text - get rid of formatting

Get Plain Text removes unwanted formatting from the clipboard in less than a second. So you can paste unformatted text into any application!

You copy text from a web page and paste it into an editor, only to find that it keeps the original fonts, sizes, and colors. Sound familiar?

Some editors let you paste text without formatting, but this useful feature is not available in every application.

Advanced clipboard managers can remove formatting and paste plain text. If you do not use a clipboard manager, you may need a separate tool to remove formatting.

Get Plain Text is a free tool for this task. Every time you run it, the utility removes formatting from the clipboard, including fonts, sizes, colors, and embedded images, leaving only plain text.

Get Plain Text is a small, fast clipboard tool. Taking only 70 KB of disk space, Get Plain Text removes unwanted formatting from the clipboard in less than a second. Once the job is done, the program closes automatically. It does not bother you with windows, prompt dialogs, or any other bells and whistles. Get Plain Text does its job silently and keeps you focused on your work. The advantage of this solution is that it does not add an icon to the system tray and does not use memory when it is not running.
