About HTML Stripper

HTML tags provide structure and formatting for web pages, but when you need the raw text content — for data processing, content migration, or plain-text communication — those tags get in the way. An HTML Stripper removes all markup, leaving only the human-readable text behind.

Our HTML Stripper uses the browser's native DOMParser to accurately parse your HTML and extract clean text. Unlike simple regex-based strippers, it correctly handles nested tags, self-closing elements, script/style blocks, and HTML entities. Options let you preserve line breaks from block elements and keep link URLs visible in the output. All processing runs entirely in your browser — your HTML never leaves your machine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an HTML Stripper? expand_more
An HTML Stripper is a tool that removes all HTML tags and markup from a block of code, leaving only the plain text content. It is commonly used to extract readable text from web pages, email templates, or any HTML source without manually deleting tags.
Does this tool handle script and style tags? expand_more
Yes. The stripper removes not only the <script> and <style> tags themselves but also their inner content, so JavaScript code and CSS rules do not appear in your plain text output.
What does the "Show URLs" option do? expand_more
When enabled, every hyperlink in the HTML is converted from <a href="url">text</a> into "text (url)" in the output, so you can see where each link pointed without losing that information during stripping.
Is my HTML data secure? expand_more
Absolutely. All tag stripping is performed entirely in your browser using JavaScript and the native DOMParser API. No data is transmitted to any server, so your HTML remains private and secure.
