How it works

Step by step

1
Paste HTML or open a file
Use an HTML fragment, a complete document, or a local HTML/text file.
2
Choose options
Choose between readable structure and compact output plus optional link targets and alt text.
3
Use the plain text
Copy the extracted text or download it as a TXT file.

Input, file, and result are processed in the browser and are not uploaded.

The tool creates plain text and discards invisible program and style content.

Paragraphs, lists, and tables can be preserved or reduced to one compact line.

The complete result can be copied or saved as a UTF-8 text file.

Is the result sanitized HTML?

No. The tool outputs plain text only. If that text is later used as HTML, the target application must escape it correctly.

Are images, links, or scripts loaded?

No. Attributes such as href or alt are read as text only. External resources are not opened.
