FAQ

Is my text uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Nothing you paste is sent to a server.

Can I use this tool offline?

After the page loads once, it will typically keep working offline (unless you hard refresh with no cache).

Do you store my input?

No. Your input stays in your browser. Only optional preferences like theme or language may be stored.

What input formats are supported?

Any plain text. You can paste text directly into the input box.

What does Replace Tabs With Spaces do?

$It replaces each tab character (\t) with spaces so text displays consistently in editors that render tabs differently.

Why do tabs sometimes look misaligned?

Different editors and viewers can use different tab widths. Converting tabs to spaces makes alignment more predictable.

Does this change line breaks or other whitespace?

No. It only replaces tab characters. Line breaks and spaces remain as they are (except where tabs are converted).
