Remove text in brackets

Remove text in brackets is a fast way to clean up copy, code, and notes that contain unwanted parentheses, square brackets, or curly braces. Paste any text and this tool strips away the bracketed content instantly, leaving everything else intact. Choose which bracket type to remove: all three at once, or just round (), square [], or curly {} to be selective.

The tool works by repeatedly finding and removing the innermost bracket pairs, so nested brackets like ((text)) are handled correctly in a single pass. Your text structure remains untouched — line breaks, spacing, and punctuation outside the brackets stay exactly as they were. Common use cases include cleaning up comments from code, removing editorial notes from manuscripts, or tidying up data that has unwanted annotations.

Everything runs locally in your browser, so your text never leaves your device. The live counter under the output shows how many characters you removed and how many remain, making it easy to see the impact at a glance. Copy the cleaned text, download it as a .txt file, or send it directly to another tool when you are done.

FAQ

Does it remove the brackets and the text inside?
Yes. Both the brackets and everything between them disappear. For example, "hello (world)" becomes "hello ".
What happens with nested brackets?
The tool removes innermost pairs first and repeats the process, so ((text)) is handled correctly in one go.
Can I remove only one type of bracket?
Yes. The bracket type selector lets you target round (), square [], or curly {} separately, or all three at once.
What about unmatched brackets?
Unmatched brackets are left alone. The tool only removes complete pairs, so a single ( without a closing ) stays in the text.
