How convert HTML to Plain Text

Removing HTML tags and formatting from documents is fast and secure. Here's how to use the tool:

Common Use Cases for HTML Stripping

πŸ“° Content Migration

When moving blog posts or articles from an old Content Management System (CMS) to a new one, the text is often wrapped in outdated, messy HTML <span> and <div> tags. Stripping the HTML allows you to start fresh with clean text.

πŸ“§ Email Cleanup

Copying content from rich-text emails often carries over hidden HTML formatting that breaks when you paste it into other documents. Stripping the tags removes this completely.

πŸ“Š Data Scraping

If you are scraping websites for data (like product reviews or descriptions), you need to get rid of the surrounding <li>, <a>, and <p> tags so that your database only contains the actual readable text.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I remove HTML tags from text?
Paste your text or HTML code into the editor and click 'Strip HTML Tags'. The tool will instantly parse the code and remove all tags, attributes, and scripts, leaving you with clean, readable plain text.
Does this tool remove JavaScript and CSS?
Yes. While standard HTML tags (like <p> or <b>) are simply deleted to leave the text inside them intact, our tool intelligently identifies <script> and <style> blocks and removes their contents entirely. This ensures raw computer code doesn't pollute your final plain text output.
Can I keep formatting like bold or italics?
No, this tool performs a complete, destructive clean of all HTML elements. If you want to preserve formatting, we recommend copying the rendered text from a webpage normally rather than copying the source code.
Is my text data private?
Absolutely. 100% of the extraction process happens locally within your web browser using Javascript. Your text never leaves your device and is never stored on our servers. You can safely format confidential business documents here.
