HTML Stripper — Remove Tags
Remove all HTML tags from text and get clean plain text. Decodes entities and tidies whitespace, entirely in your browser.
Tags are removed with your browser's own HTML parser and HTML entities are decoded — nothing is uploaded. Scripts and styles are discarded, not executed.
Paste HTML and get back clean, readable plain text. This stripper removes every tag, decodes HTML entities, and can preserve or flatten line breaks — handy for pulling copy out of emails, CMS exports, or scraped pages. It runs entirely in your browser.
How to use it
No account, no upload — it all happens on your device.
When to strip HTML
Common cases where you want the words, not the markup.
- Cleaning pasted content. Copy from a web page or email and you often drag along a mess of tags and inline styles. Stripping leaves just the text.
- Preparing text for analysis. Word counts, readability checks, and search indexing all work better on plain text than on markup.
- Migrating content. Moving copy between a CMS, a spreadsheet, or a plain-text field is far cleaner without stray HTML.
How the stripping works
The tool parses your input with the browser's native HTML parser, discards <script> and <style> blocks, then reads the remaining text content. Because the parsed document is never attached to the page, no images load and no scripts run — it is safe by construction.
