Strip HTML tags to get clean text
The Remove HTML Tags tool deletes every HTML element from your input and leaves only the readable text. It removes opening and closing tags, self-closing tags and attributes, and it discards the contents of script and style blocks entirely so no code leaks into the output. Block-level elements such as paragraphs, list items and headings are turned into line breaks so the text keeps a sensible structure.
Two options give you control over the result. Decoding HTML entities converts sequences like the ampersand code and non-breaking spaces back into normal characters. Collapsing whitespace removes the runs of spaces and blank lines that HTML source often contains.
When to strip HTML
Writers paste content from web pages or rich-text editors and need clean text for a plain document. Developers extract readable copy from templates and email source. Data workers clean scraped HTML before analysis. Anyone copying from a website that brings along hidden formatting can reset it here.
The tool is a text cleaner, not a full HTML parser, so unusual or malformed markup may need a second pass. All processing happens locally in your browser, keeping your content private.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does it remove script and style code?
Yes. The contents of script and style blocks are removed completely, so no JavaScript or CSS appears in the plain text output.
Will my paragraphs stay separated?
Yes. Block elements such as paragraphs, headings and list items are converted to line breaks so the text keeps a readable structure.
What does decoding entities do?
It converts HTML character codes, such as the ampersand or non-breaking space codes, back into the actual characters they represent.
Can it handle messy or broken HTML?
It handles most real-world HTML well, but severely malformed markup may leave stray fragments. Running the output through again usually cleans them up.
Is my HTML uploaded anywhere?
No. Tag stripping runs entirely in your browser, so your content is never sent to a server.
Privacy & Security
Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
