About Extract Text From HTML

Extracting readable text from HTML is a common task for developers, content writers, and data analysts. Raw HTML is full of tags, attributes, and formatting that obscure the actual content. This tool intelligently strips away the markup while preserving the meaningful structure of the document — headings, lists, links, and paragraphs — so you get clean, human-readable text in seconds.

Unlike a simple tag stripper that removes all HTML indiscriminately, our extractor walks the DOM tree and understands the semantic meaning of each element. It converts headings into markdown-style markers, preserves ordered and unordered list formatting, optionally includes link URLs and image alt text, and maintains paragraph spacing. Everything runs entirely in your browser using the native DOMParser API — no data ever leaves your machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is HTML text extraction? expand_more
HTML text extraction is the process of converting an HTML document into plain, readable text by removing all markup tags while optionally preserving the structural meaning of the content — such as headings, lists, and paragraphs. It goes beyond simple tag stripping by understanding the semantic role of each HTML element.
How is this different from an HTML stripper? expand_more
A basic HTML stripper removes all tags and returns raw text with no structure. This extractor is smarter: it walks the DOM tree and preserves meaningful formatting. Headings become markdown-style markers, lists keep their bullet or numbered format, and paragraphs are separated by blank lines for readability.
Is my HTML data secure? expand_more
Yes. All processing happens locally in your browser using the native DOMParser API. Your HTML is never uploaded to any server, making it completely safe to use with sensitive or proprietary content.
Can I extract text from a full webpage? expand_more
Yes. You can paste the complete HTML source of any webpage. The tool will parse the entire document and extract text from the body, ignoring script tags, style blocks, and other non-visible elements automatically.
