  1. 1. Paste your HTML.
  2. 2. All tags are removed, leaving the text.
  3. 3. Copy the plain text.

When to use Strip HTML Tags

Extract plain content

Get just the text out of an HTML block copied from a page or email.

Clean before reuse

Remove markup so content can be pasted somewhere as plain text.

What's kept and what's dropped

You get the text a reader would see. The contents of <script>, <style>, <noscript> and <template> are removed entirely, not just their tags. Links keep their text but lose the address, and images disappear along with their alt text. The HTML is read by your browser's parser without running any scripts in it, so it's safe to paste source from any page.

Frequently asked questions

Does it decode entities too?

Yes — &amp;, &nbsp;, &eacute; and the rest come out as the characters they stand for.

Will the text keep its line breaks?

Yes. Paragraphs, headings, list items, table rows and <br> become line breaks, extra spaces are collapsed, and there's never more than one blank line in a row.
