Nickname cleaner

Clean gamer nicknames from clan tags and decorative symbols.

Input

Nickname cleaner

Paste a list of player names — exported from a Steam friends list, a Discord server member list, or a CS:GO scoreboard — and this tool strips the clutter that makes gaming nicknames hard to work with in a spreadsheet or a database. It removes clan tags like [SK], (EU), {TAG} or |CLAN| from the start and end of each line, deletes decorative symbols and emoji such as ❤️, ★ or weapon glyphs, and tidies up any leftover whitespace.

Each of the three cleanup steps is a separate toggle, so you can use only what you need. Turn off "Strip clan tags" if you want to keep team prefixes but still remove emoji and symbols; turn off "Remove decorative symbols" if you only want the tags gone. "Collapse spaces" merges runs of spaces or tabs left behind by a removed tag or symbol into a single space and trims the ends, so names line up cleanly once pasted into a spreadsheet.

The symbol filter is Unicode-aware: it keeps letters and numbers in any script, including accented characters like á, č or ž, so names in Slovak, German or Polish are not mangled — only glyphs that are not letters, digits, whitespace or basic punctuation (. _ -) are dropped. A line that consists entirely of tags and symbols disappears from the output rather than leaving a stray blank line, which is exactly what you want when de-cluttering a roster.

Everything runs locally in your browser — nicknames, clan names and any other player data in the list never leave your device, so it is safe to clean rosters exported from private Discord servers or clan management tools. Paste your list, watch the live count of lines and removed characters update as you adjust the options, then copy the result or download it as a .txt file.

FAQ

What counts as a clan tag?
Bracketed text at the very start or end of a line: [TAG], (TAG), {TAG}, <TAG> or |TAG|, plus the whitespace around it. Brackets in the middle of a name are left untouched.
Will it remove accented letters like á or ž?
No. The symbol filter keeps every letter and digit in any language — only emoji, decorative marks and other non-alphanumeric glyphs are removed.
What happens to a name that is only a tag or symbols?
Once cleaning removes everything from the line, the now-empty line is dropped from the output instead of appearing as a blank row.
Is my player list uploaded anywhere?
No. Nickname cleaning runs entirely in your browser — your list stays on your device.
