App Description
Copy as plain text right within your favourite apps!* Are you tired of pasting text into an app such as Mail, only to find that the text is too large or the wrong color? Using Plain Text Paste, you can now copy as plain text*, or remove formatting from the current clipboard content. All formatting (colors, fonts, and sizes) is automatically removed from the text in the clipboard. You can even view and edit the plain text currently in the clipboard with simple customizations such as removing newlines and uppercasing!
How it works (easy way):
1. Highlight text
2. Tap "Share..." if available (if not, use steps below)
3. Tap "Copy Plain Text"
4. Paste the unformatted text into any app you wish
Or (classic way):
1. Copy text from any app
2. Open Plain Text app
3. The text in the clipboard is automatically converted to plain text
4. Paste the unformatted text into any app you wish
Take control of your clipboard by viewing and editing text, and clearing all formatting using Plain Text Paste.
Notes:
* The "copy within app" feature is not available in all apps. Please use "classic way" instead (see above).
