Description

FormatStripper allows you to automatically adjust the format of copied text from one environment to match the format of text in another. Simultaneously it can also remove line breaks, redundant spaces, or change the capitalization while you're at it. All you do is copy and paste, FormatStripper does the rest.

Are you sick of untangling wacky text formatting from websites, PDFs and PowerPoint slides? Or how about reading THOSE ANNOYING ALL CAPS MESSAGES from people who don't understand netiquette? FormatStripper is the app for you! That pesky bold-underlined-size-82-hot-purple-heading-you-can’t-seem-to-get-rid-of-in-less-than-five-steps is no match for FormatStripper!

FormatStripper is simple to use. After installing and launching the app you will find the FormatStripper icon in your top status bar. After you activate the app it will automatically remove all formatting from whatever text you copy. Once you paste the text it will automatically adjust to the format of the document you are pasting into. You have the options to keep the capitalization as-is by selecting "Strip Format only" from the menu or change your copied text to "ALL CAPS", all "lowercase", or capitalize the first letter of each word using the "Capitalization" mode. As extra options you can choose to strip all line breaks and/or redundant spaces. This app is guaranteed to save you time and headaches.

IMPORTANT: There is no application window. After you launch the app the only thing that is supposed to happen is that you see a "SFo" icon on your Mac status bar. Using that icon you can check active in order to activate the app and have it strip the formatting info. Feel free to contact us through our website if you have additional questions or think something isn't working properly!

Simple and perfect

I wanted a format stripper that would do one thing really well and without any energy on my part — strip the format from whatever I’ve copied and match the format to wherever I’m pasting it. I don’t want a lot of bells and whistles, just simplicity. I’ve tried so many of the apps like this and I found all of them a bit annoying after a while. This one does the job and is a keeper.

Great work

App does just what it says and it's really handy. I tested it with a complex PDF and it worked like a charm. I'm a proposal writer and sometimes I need to import highly formatted text from the company web site or from our marketing brochures in PDF. This will be a huge timesaver.

The author responded right away to a question I posted on the web site … pretty impressive!

Simple and Effective

I only need to strip formatting, but this app has the added benefit of also raising or lowering case, or make all caps, as well which is a plus. Best feature is it works seemlessly with the the standard Apple-C / Apple-V commands, instead of using special key combos. It's simple and does what it's supposed to do.
