Strip HTML Tags
Paste HTML — an email template, a scraped page, a CMS export — and get clean plain text with every tag removed: no divs, no spans, no inline styles, no surprise characters. The tag count shows how much markup was hiding in there.
It exists for the moment every developer, marketer and data analyst has: text arrives full of markup and something downstream needs it naked. Everything runs locally in your browser, so it is safe for confidential content.
How to use
- Paste your HTML into the input box — a fragment or a full document both work.
- The plain-text version appears instantly, with HTML entities like & decoded to real characters.
- Check how many tags were stripped, then copy the clean text with one click.
Frequently asked questions
How does HTML stripping work?
Every <tag> is removed with a pattern match, then common HTML entities (&, <, > and friends) are decoded into their real characters. What remains is the human-readable text content.
Is it safe to paste confidential HTML here?
Yes — stripping runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is transmitted, logged or stored; you can disconnect from the internet and it still works.
Does it handle script and style tags?
Yes — their entire contents are removed, not just the tags, so no stray CSS rules or JavaScript survive into the output.
Will the formatting survive?
Plain text has no formatting by definition — headings become lines, links become their visible text, bold becomes normal. Line breaks between blocks are preserved so paragraphs stay readable.
