What Is an Online Text Editor?

An online text editor is a page where you can write and edit plain text in your browser without installing a program. Plain text means no fonts, colors or images, just the characters themselves. That makes it a good place to clean up copied text, prepare a list, tidy notes, or remove formatting that comes along when you paste from a web page or a document.

What You Can Do With This Text Editor

  • Change case: UPPERCASE, lowercase, Title Case and Sentence case.
  • Clean up: trim spaces at line ends, collapse repeated spaces, delete empty lines and remove duplicate lines.
  • Work with lists: sort lines from A to Z or Z to A, reverse the order, or add line numbers.
  • Find and replace text across the whole document, with an option to match case.
  • Undo and redo your last changes, up to 100 steps.
  • Open a .txt file from your device, and download your text as a .txt file.

How to Use the Text Editor

  1. Type your text in the box or paste it in. You can also open a .txt file.
  2. Click a button to change the case, clean the text or sort the lines. The whole text is updated at once.
  3. Use Find and Replace to change a word or phrase everywhere.
  4. Press Undo if you do not like a change.
  5. Copy the result, or download it as a .txt file.

Good to Know

  • The buttons work on the whole text, not on a selection.
  • Title Case capitalizes the first letter of every word. It does not skip small words such as of or the, so check headings by eye.
  • Sorting uses your browser language rules, so accented letters sort in a natural order.
  • The editor does not autosave. Your text is not stored anywhere, so download it if you need to keep it.
  • This is a plain text editor. It does not keep bold, italics or other formatting. Use the HTML viewer if you want to see how HTML code looks.
