Tags Removed

Strip HTML tags from markup and get clean plain text — useful for extracting article content, preparing email-safe text versions, cleaning scraped HTML, or reading a page’s actual words without the tag noise.

How to convert HTML to plain text

  1. Paste your HTML — full documents or fragments both work.
  2. The plain-text extraction strips tags and keeps the readable content.
  3. Copy the cleaned text with one click.

Conversion example

Tags disappear; their text content remains. Structural tags like paragraphs and line breaks become whitespace so sentences don’t run together.

<p>Hello <b>world</b></p>  →  Hello world

Frequently asked questions

Are scripts and styles removed too?

The extractor targets visible text content — script and style contents don’t appear in the output. Always sanity-check automated extraction on important documents.

Will HTML entities like &amp; be converted?

Yes — entities decode to their characters (&amp; becomes &), so the text reads naturally.

Is my HTML uploaded anywhere?

No — extraction runs entirely in your browser.
