FlowPaste - Clean Up Your Copied Text from PDFs

In recent weeks, I created FlowPaste, a tool designed to help you clean up text copied from PDFs, removing unwanted line breaks and formatting issues that often accompany pasted text. You can try it out online at flowpaste.chavinvan.com.

In my work I often have to copy text from PDFs and paste it into separate documents. Copied text usually was broken up with extra line breaks and inconsistent formatting. Manually fixing these issues took more time than I would have liked.

So I created FlowPaste to automatically remove line breaks from copied text. As I did with note2md, I first created it using Flutter. But then, migrated it to Astro for its lightweight framework and SEO benefits. So now, it's public.

FlowPaste lets you paste any copied text from a PDF, clean it up with one click, and copy it back to your clipboard —all without requiring downloads or installations. The app processes everything locally in your browser, ensuring complete privacy and security for your content.

With FlowPaste, I hope you can save time and keep your notes organized without the hassle of manual cleanup. If you have any feedback, feel free to reach out at chavinvan@gmail.com
