Strip HTML markup, scripts, styles, and comments to extract clean plain text — with structure preservation, entity decoding, selective tag filtering, and live tag frequency analysis.
HTML to clean plain-text conversion
The Remove HTML Tags tool strips HTML markup from your content, leaving clean, readable plain text. It handles complete HTML5 documents, inline code fragments, named and numeric entities, embedded scripts, stylesheets, and comments.
Choose from four specialized processing modes — remove all tags, preserve document structure, keep selected tags, or remove selected tags. Every operation runs 100% locally in your browser with zero server uploads.
Common developer, content, and data workflows where stripping HTML markup saves time

Prepare HTML documents for conversion to Markdown, TXT, or structured JSON feeds.

Strip HTML from email campaigns to create plain-text email versions.
Opening (<p>) and closing (</p>) tags define document structure. Self-closing tags (<br/>, <img/>) and DOCTYPE declarations are also stripped cleanly.
Character references like & (&), < (<), © (©). These encode special characters that have meaning in HTML syntax.
<script> blocks contain JavaScript and <style> blocks contain CSS. Their inner code is stripped along with the tags so raw code never leaks into output.
Inline tags like <strong>, <em>, <span> style text. Block tags like <div>, <p>, <h1> create structure. Preserve Structure mode formats both cleanly.
<h1>Hello</h1> <p>This is <strong>bold</strong> text.</p>
Hello This is bold text.
<h1>Title</h1> <p>Paragraph one</p> <ul><li>Item A</li><li>Item B</li></ul>
Title Paragraph one - Item A - Item B
