Frequently Asked Questions

What types of characters does this tool replace?

The tool replaces all special characters (like !, @, #, $, %, etc.), spaces, tabs, and newlines with your chosen separator. It also handles multiple consecutive special characters by converting them to a single separator.

Can I use this for creating URLs or slugs?

Absolutely! This tool is perfect for creating URL-friendly slugs. Just select "lowercase" and "hyphen" as your separator, and you'll get clean, SEO-friendly URLs like "my-awesome-blog-post".

Is there a limit to how much text I can process?

There's no strict limit, but very large texts (over 10,000 characters) might slow down your browser temporarily. For normal use cases like titles, paragraphs, or articles, you won't encounter any issues.

Does this tool work offline?

Yes! Once loaded in your browser, all processing happens locally on your device. No data is sent to any servers, making it safe for sensitive content.

Can I customize the formatting further?

Currently, the tool offers the most commonly needed text transformations. If you need more advanced formatting, you might want to combine this with other text processing tools for your specific needs.

Success!
