Embed images: This is a cool feature where the images are embedded directly into your HTML code. You do not need to have separate image files.

How to clean up existing HTML?
A great time-saving feature is the ability to clean up existing HTML. For example, say you are editing a page in WordPress or another content management system, it can be useful to be able to remove the formatting you don’t need.
To clean up your HTML all you need to do is paste it into the HTML editor box on the right side. When you paste in the code you will get a preview of how it looks in the Visual Editor on the left. You can then directly edit your HTML in the HTML Editor on the right or use the Visual Editor on the left to make your changes.
To clean up your HTML you can use the HTML Cleanup options. You can also add, find and replace commands to change your code; or find and delete commands to delete code you do not need. Once all cleanup options are selected click the green Clean Up My HTML button. Then you can copy the converted HTML to the clipboard or save it and download it as HTML.
If you make a mistake you can click the undo button under the HTML Editor to undo your changes - this is useful to test which combination of settings works best.

Above the Visual Editor are the editor display options. Depending on your screen size and personal preference you can choose to display all the Visual Editor options or a compact version of the editor icons. If you select the compact view all the options are still there, you just need to click on the icons with the three dots to see the additional options.
If you are creating Amazon descriptions you can enable the Amazon listing mode. This will ensure you only use HTML that is compatible with Amazon descriptions.
You can also choose to make the Visual Editor window larger or smaller by clicking on the < > icons between the two windows.
