HTML to Text Converter

Strip HTML tags and extract plain text from HTML markup. Preserves line breaks, lists, and link URLs. Free, runs in your browser.

Reference

How does the HTML stripper work?

This tool parses your HTML using the browser's built-in DOMParser and walks the resulting DOM tree, extracting text nodes while handling block-level elements (<p>, <div>, <br>, lists, headings) by inserting line breaks. Optional flags preserve link URLs in parentheses and collapse runs of whitespace.

Common uses

  • Email plain-text alternatives — generate the text version of HTML emails.
  • Content analysis — extract just the readable text for word counts or summaries.
  • Migration — clean up HTML when moving content between systems.
  • Accessibility — review the text-only content of a page.

Privacy

All parsing runs 100% in your browser. No data is sent to any server.
