Copy As Plain Text - Strip Formatting & Save Clipboard History

Copy any selected text from web pages without formatting, styles, fonts, or colors. This lightweight extension strips rich text and copies only clean plain text to your clipboard. Use the right-click context menu, a customizable keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+Shift+C), or the toolbar button to copy instantly. Automatically trim whitespace and collapse multiple blank lines with built-in text sanitization options. Every copy is saved to a local history of up to 50 items, so you can revisit and re-copy previous snippets anytime. Built for professionals who need clean text from websites, documents, emails, and articles without carrying over unwanted formatting. How It Works • Select text on any webpage. • Trigger copy via right-click menu, keyboard shortcut, or toolbar button. • The extension injects a lightweight script into the active tab that reads your selection, removes all HTML styling, and writes clean plain text to your system clipboard. • Optional sanitization (trim whitespace, collapse multiple lines) is applied based on your settings. • The text is stored in a local history list for quick access later. Who Can Use This Extension • Writers and editors pasting web content into Word, Google Docs, or CMS platforms without importing unwanted styles. • Researchers collecting clean quotes and references from academic sites. • Developers copying code snippets without syntax highlighting or color formatting. • Students gathering notes from multiple sources into a uniform document. • Anyone who regularly copies from websites into emails, spreadsheets, or presentations and wants consistent, format-free text.
