## Description

Copy IA Text helps you copy clean, plain text from ChatGPT and other AI-powered tools.

Many AI platforms insert hidden or invisible Unicode characters into copied content for tracking, formatting, or source attribution. These characters can cause issues when pasting text into editors, code files, emails, or documents.

This extension automatically removes those hidden characters at copy time, ensuring the resulting text is clean, readable, and free of unwanted metadata.

The extension works entirely locally in your browser and does not collect, store, or transmit any user data.
