About:
arxiv-latex-cleaner prepares LaTeX projects for arXiv submission by automatically removing unnecessary files and content. It cleans auxiliary files, comments, and can downsample images to meet submission size limits. This tool streamlines the process of creating clean, minimal arXiv-ready archives from complex LaTeX source directories.

Automatic removal of auxiliary and non-essential files
Image downsampling and format conversion for size limits
Comment removal and code cleaning
Configurable rules via YAML file
Preserves compilation functionality

Use Cases:

Cleaning up LaTeX projects for sharing or publication
Reducing repository size for LaTeX documents
