Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Wypal.

Does the theme work across all pages?

Yes. Wypal stores your selection (Light, Dark, or System) and applies it site-wide automatically.

Is my text private?

Completely. Cleaning runs locally in your browser. Your pasted text is never uploaded. The only external request we make is if you submit the Contact form (to Formspree) — never your pasted text.

How do I use Diff View?

Click "Diff View" in the output panel. You'll see "Before" (original) and "After" (cleaned) with highlighted changes. Toggle it off to return to the editable cleaned text.

Green highlights indicate additions
Red strike-throughs indicate removals
What does the em-dash strategy do?

Many AI tools overuse "—". Wypal can replace it with a comma, colon, period, hyphen, or remove it. "Auto" suggests a context-aware choice and shows the suggestion under the selector.

Which file types are supported?

.txt and .md are fully supported. .docx support is planned; batch mode lets you process multiple files in one pass and download each cleaned result.

Will I lose my work if I close the tab?

No. Your last paste and options are saved to your browser's local storage. When you return, Wypal restores your session.

Is there keyboard or mobile support?

On mobile, use the bottom toolbar for Undo, Redo, Apply, and Diff. Keyboard shortcuts are coming soon.

Does Wypal work with non-English text?

Yes. The cleaning rules focus on punctuation and formatting; they work across most Latin scripts. We'll expand language-specific heuristics over time.
