Online HTML stripper: convert HTML to plain text instantly
Extracting clean text from HTML code is a common need for developers, content editors, and digital marketing professionals. Our HTML tag remover does the heavy lifting for you.
The tool also automatically removes embedded CSS style blocks, JavaScript scripts, HTML comments, and decodes the most common HTML entities. The preserve line breaks option is smart: it converts tags like <br>, </p>, </div> into appropriate line breaks.
The preserve link URLs option converts links like <a href="url">text</a> to the format "text (url)". All processing is done in your browser, without sending your HTML to any external server.
Frequently asked questions
Are CSS styles and scripts also removed?
Yes, the tool automatically removes all content within <style> and <script> tags, including the tags themselves. It also removes HTML comments. This ensures the result is pure text without programming code or mixed styles.
Does it work with malformed HTML?
Yes, the tool uses regular expressions to remove any content between < and >, which works even with malformed HTML or unclosed tags. However, in cases of very poorly structured HTML, the result may need some minor manual adjustments.
Can I use it to clean HTML emails?
Absolutely. It's one of the most common uses. HTML emails often have complex tables, inline styles, and encoded entities. Our tool converts them into readable plain text, ideal for archiving emails, analyzing content, or creating plain text versions for your email marketing campaigns.
