Remove HTML Tags

Paste HTML to get just the readable text, with paragraphs and list items kept on their own lines.

How to use the remove html tags

  1. Paste HTML.
  2. Choose whether to convert entities and keep line breaks.
  3. Copy the plain text.

What gets removed

All tags are removed, and the contents of <script>, <style> and comments are dropped entirely. Paragraphs, headings and line breaks become new lines, and list items get a bullet.

Examples

<p>This is <strong>bold</strong> &amp; <a href="/x">a link</a>.</p>

This is bold & a link.

<ul><li>One</li><li>Two</li></ul>

• One • Two (on separate lines)

Questions

Is it safe to paste untrusted HTML?

Yes. The HTML is treated as text and never run.

Does it keep links?

It keeps the link text but not the URL. Use the <a href="/tools/url-extractor/">URL extractor</a> to get the links.
