Strip HTML Tags
Extract plain text from HTML code.
Copying from web pages often drags along hidden markup — this extracts just the readable text.
How to use
- Paste your HTML code into the box.
- Click Strip tags — scripts and styles are dropped.
- Copy the clean plain text.
About this tool
Script and style blocks are removed so you don’t get code mixed into your text.
Parsing happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
How it works
The tool parses your HTML and extracts only the text nodes, discarding every tag, attribute, and script or style block. HTML entities are decoded along the way, so "&" becomes "&" and " " becomes a normal space.
It handles malformed markup gracefully — unclosed tags, missing quotes — because it parses like a browser rather than relying on a fragile regex. The result is clean plain text you can paste into emails, documents, or plain-text editors.
Worked examples

Scraped content: Copy a web page’s HTML source and extract just the readable article text.

What about tables?

Is my HTML uploaded?
No — 100% local processing.
