Extract text instead of deleting between tags

The converter uses the browser's HTML parser to read text content safely. It is designed for snippets and copied markup, not for downloading remote web pages.

Scripts in pasted markup are not executed. Review complex tables and navigation lists because their visual layout cannot be represented exactly in plain text.

FAQ

Questions about HTML to Plain Text

Does pasted HTML run?

No. The browser parses the string in an isolated document and reads its text content.

Can it fetch a URL?

No. Paste the HTML source or copied fragment directly.

Does it keep links?

It keeps visible anchor text. Use the Markdown or tracking-link tools when URL handling matters.

Strip HTML tags and keep readable text

This HTML to plain text converter is useful when a rich clipboard or webpage adds tags, links and inline styling that your destination cannot use. It keeps visible text and meaningful line breaks while removing HTML markup.

For Markdown, headings and code fences, use the broader plain text converter or Markdown remover. The focused HTML workflow makes it easier to review exactly what was stripped.
