What is Remove Special Characters?
Remove Special Characters is a text cleaner that strips symbols and punctuation while keeping English letters, numbers, and whitespace. It is useful when text must be simplified for forms, filenames, keyword lists, plain text fields, or systems that do not accept punctuation.
Why Use It
Special characters can break imports, cause validation errors, or make text harder to process. They may also appear when copying from formatted documents or websites. A cleaner lets you quickly produce a plain alphanumeric version while preserving word spacing.

How to Use
