Coming to Mac and Windows
Turn messy AI text into a clean document.
Open the file ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot saved. AsItIs turns the stray symbols into proper headings, bold text and tables. Fix anything, then send a PDF or Word file.
Free to open, edit and save, with a plain PDF. Pro adds polished PDF and Word exports for $29, paid once.
Illustration: on the left, a plan saved by an AI tool, full of hash marks, stars, dashes and vertical bars. On the right, the same plan as a clean document with a title, a bold date, a bulleted list and a table, ready to send as a PDF or Word file.
The problem
The answer is good. The formatting is a mess.
AI tools save their answers as markdown, a plain-text format where # means a heading and ** means bold. It looks tidy in the chat. Anywhere else, this happens.
-
Stars and hash marks all over the page when you put it in Word or an email.
-
Tables arrive as rows of vertical bars and dashes.
-
You tidy one part by hand and the layout falls apart somewhere else.
How it works
Three steps. No symbols to learn.
Open the file
Open the file your AI tool saved or exported: a download from ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot, or a report an AI tool wrote for you.
Fix it like a normal document
It shows as a clean page with real headings, lists and tables. Click where you want to change something and type.
Send it
Export a PDF or a Word file. AsItIs saves only what you changed, so nothing else in the file moves.

Stuck with it today? These work now.
Short guides for getting ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot text into Word, Google Docs, Excel and PDF with what you already have. Free, with the vendors' own steps cited.

For developers and AI teams
Byte-clean saves, measured in public.
AsItIs patches the file instead of rewriting it: every byte you did not edit stays identical, so a diff shows your change and nothing else. That matters for CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, SKILL.md and any file an agent or a reviewer reads after you.
Typical visual editor
115 of 115 lines changed
Every line rewritten, including the 113 you never touched. Nobody can see what you actually changed, and tools that read the file can break.
AsItIs
2 of 115 lines changed
Exactly the two lines you edited. Everything else stays as it arrived, so anyone can check your work in seconds.
Measured on a 115-line report with Windows line endings, saved by the engines inside five common visual editors: 102 to 115 lines changed with no edits at all. Code editors that detect the file's line endings do better on this file. Method, numbers and how to run it yourself on the benchmark page.
Available now Claude Code plugin
Free and open source (MIT). Reads, outlines, lints and budgets your SKILL.md, CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md, and flags hidden instructions. Read only: it cannot change any of them.
