PureText 5 is a freeware text converter app and clipboard program developed by Steve Miller for Windows. It's light on system resources, portable and straightforward.
The download has been tested by an editor here on a PC with some screenshots included to illustrate the user interface.
Removes text formatting from your copying
PureText only removes rich formatting from text. This includes the font face, font style (bold, italics, etc.), font color, paragraph styles (left/right/center aligned), margins, character spacing, bullets, subscript, superscript, tables, charts, pictures, embedded objects, etc. However, it does not modify the actual text. It will not remove or fix new-lines, carriage returns, tabs, or other white-space. It will not fix word-wrap or clean up your paragraphs. If you copy the source code of a web page to the clipboard, it is not going to remove all the HTML tags. If you copy text from an actual web page (not the source of the page), it will remove the formatting.
PureText is basically equivalent to opening Notepad, doing a PASTE, followed by a SELECT-ALL, and then a COPY. The benefit of PureText is performing all these actions with a single Hot-Key and having the result pasted into the current window automatically.
Compatibility and License
PureText is provided under a freeware license on Windows from clipboard managers with no restrictions on usage. Download and installation of this PC software is free and 5.0 is the latest version last time we checked.
Is PureText for Windows 11?
Yes. It can run on a PC with Windows 11 or Windows 10. Previous versions of the OS shouldn't be a problem with Windows 8 and Windows 7 having been tested. It comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit downloads.
