ANSI Escape Code Remover

What ANSI escape codes are

Terminals add color and formatting with invisible ANSI escape sequences — short runs of bytes that start with the ESC control character. The code ESC[32m turns text green and ESC[0m resets it; others move the cursor, clear the line, or set the window title. On a live terminal you never see them, but the moment you copy that output into a ticket, a pull request, a text file, or a log viewer that does not render color, the codes resurface as noise such as [32m and [0m plus stray control characters that break search, diffing, and word counts.

Clean terminal and CI logs in your browser

Paste any colored log and this tool strips every ANSI sequence in a single pass — SGR color and style codes, cursor and screen-control commands (CSI), operating-system commands (OSC) like window titles and clickable hyperlinks, and standalone single-character escapes — while leaving the visible text and line breaks untouched. It is built for cleaning CI output from GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins, tidying test-runner results, and turning pasted terminal captures into plain, greppable text. A log file can be dropped straight onto the box as well as opened with Open file…. Folded under the tool, Look up a code lists the common sequences — every SGR attribute, the basic colours one by one, the palette and true-colour forms, the cursor, erase, scroll and mode sequences, OSC titles, links and clipboard, and the single-character escapes — each with what it does, so you can look one up without pasting a log. Tick Also show the log in colour, as the terminal drew it to see the log a second time under the clean text, each piece in its colour and style — basic and bright colours, palette and true-colour codes, bold, dim, italic, underline, strikethrough, inverse and hidden — on a dark terminal background; cursor moves are left out, and a log that changes colour on every word stops after a limit and says so, while the clean text stays whole. Under the clean text, Send the clean text to opens Text Sorter, Remove Duplicate Lines, List Chunker or Data Extractor in this tab with the text already in it; on the way the text waits in this tab only until that page takes it, and it never goes into the address. The Also show the log in colour box is remembered on this device until you press “Forget saved settings”; the log itself is not. Everything runs locally in your browser, so even a sensitive build log never leaves your device.
