Why AI Text Contains Invisible Watermarks
AI companies like OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic (Claude), and Google (Gemini) embed invisible watermarks in their generated text as a way to identify AI-created content. These watermarks are not visible to the human eye but can be detected by specialized software.
The watermarks work by inserting special Unicode characters into the text at specific intervals. These characters include zero-width spaces (U+200B), zero-width joiners (U+200C, U+200D), word joiners (U+2060), and other invisible markers. When strung together in patterns, they create a detectable "fingerprint" that marks the text as AI-generated.
While the intention behind watermarking is to help identify AI content, it can cause problems when you legitimately use AI for drafting, research, or editing. The watermarks can trigger AI detection tools even when you've substantially rewritten the content.
Why AI Detectors Flag Your Text
AI detection tools use multiple methods to identify AI-generated content. One method is detecting these invisible Unicode watermarks. Even if you've heavily edited AI-generated text, these hidden characters can remain and trigger detection.
When you copy text from ChatGPT, Claude, or other AI tools, the watermarks come with it. Most text editors don't display these characters, so you have no idea they're there.
Our tool specifically targets and removes these invisible watermark characters, eliminating one of the technical signals that AI detectors look for.
How the Free Tool Works Internally
When you paste text into our tool, it scans every character looking for Unicode code points that are commonly used for watermarking. This includes characters like U+200B (zero-width space), U+200C (zero-width non-joiner), U+200D (zero-width joiner), U+2060 (word joiner), U+FEFF (byte order mark), and U+00AD (soft hyphen).
The tool then creates a clean version of your text with all these watermark characters removed. Your visible content remains exactly the same - only the invisible markers are stripped out.
All processing happens entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device, is never transmitted over the internet, and is never stored anywhere. This ensures complete privacy.

We remove all known Unicode watermark types: zero-width spaces (U+200B), zero-width joiners (U+200C, U+200D), word joiners (U+2060), byte order marks (U+FEFF), soft hyphens (U+00AD), and other invisible markers used by AI systems.
No account needed. Just paste your text and click clean. No email, no password, no personal information required for the free tier.
Completely private. All processing happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never sent to servers, stored, or logged. We have zero access to what you paste.
Unlimited uses. There's no daily limit. Clean as many texts as you need, forever. The only limitation is 500 characters per individual paste.
Yes, it works with text from any AI that uses Unicode watermarking: ChatGPT (all versions), Claude, Gemini, Copilot, Llama, Mistral, and others. The detection is universal.
No. We only remove invisible Unicode characters. Your visible text, formatting, spacing, punctuation, and content remain 100% unchanged.
The limit allows us to offer the tool completely free while maintaining service quality. For most quick cleaning tasks, 500 characters is sufficient. Premium offers unlimited characters.
We remove technical watermarks, which eliminates one detection method. However, AI detectors also use writing pattern analysis. For best results, always substantially edit AI-assisted content and cite properly.
