HTML to Text Converter
Strip the tags, keep the words, clean plain text from any HTML, with paragraphs intact.
About this tool
Paste any HTML, a full page, an email template, copied web content, and get back clean, readable plain text. Scripts, styles and hidden content are dropped; headings, paragraphs, line breaks, list items and table rows become proper line breaks, so the text keeps its structure even when the HTML is all on one line.
Optionally keep each link's URL next to its text, or output simple Markdown (# headings and - bullets) for docs and AI prompts.
How to use
- 1. Paste your HTML.
- 2. Choose whether to keep link URLs or use Markdown style.
- 3. Click Convert to text and copy the result.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to scripts and styles?
They are removed entirely, along with hidden elements, only visible text content is kept.
Are links preserved?
Link text is always kept. Tick 'Keep link URLs' to add each URL in brackets after its text.
Does it keep paragraphs and lists?
Yes, block elements (headings, paragraphs, list items, table rows, <br>) become line breaks, and list items get bullets.
Is my HTML uploaded?
No, conversion runs entirely in your browser. The HTML is parsed into an inert document, so scripts never run.
