Copying text from a webpage often brings along invisible HTML formatting that causes problems when pasted somewhere that doesn't expect markup — a plain-text field, an email body, or a script. This tool strips out every HTML tag, keeping only the readable content.
It also decodes common HTML entities like & and < back into their plain character equivalents, so the result reads naturally rather than showing escaped codes.
This is useful for extracting readable content from a saved webpage, cleaning up text before pasting into a plain-text editor, or preparing scraped HTML content for further processing.
Because everything runs locally in your browser, results appear instantly and nothing you type or upload is ever sent to a server.
Bookmark this page if you expect to use this tool regularly — it loads fast and behaves the same way every time, with no account needed.
This kind of task shows up constantly in everyday writing, coding, design, and admin work, which is exactly why a dedicated, focused tool saves so much back-and-forth.
A tool that does one job well, without a cluttered interface or unrelated features competing for attention, tends to be faster to use than a heavier all-in-one app.
If you find yourself needing this conversion or calculation often, keeping this page open in a tab is usually faster than digging through a bigger software suite's menus.
Because there's no sign-up or installation step, you can jump straight from search result to working tool in a couple of seconds.
Frequently asked questions
Does this preserve paragraph breaks?
Block-level tags like paragraphs and line breaks are converted to line breaks in the output, so basic text structure is retained even without the original markup.
Will this work on a full HTML document, not just a snippet?
Yes, it strips tags from any HTML input, including a complete page — though a full page's head content and scripts would also be stripped as non-visible markup.
