What it removes

  • Colors and styles — \x1b[31m, \x1b[1;33m, etc.
  • Cursor movement, screen clearing, and other CSI sequences
  • OSC sequences (window titles, hyperlinks)
  • Common terminal control characters

Use it for

Pasting CI logs, screen-grabbed terminal output, or any colored tool output into something that can't render escape codes.
