Strip HTML tags and extract clean plain text from any HTML content.
This tool strips all HTML tags from your input, leaving only the text content. It intelligently handles block elements (adding line breaks for paragraphs, headings, list items) and can optionally extract URLs from links. Script and style tags are completely removed including their content.
Yes. The tool uses the browser's built-in HTML parser (DOMParser) which gracefully handles unclosed tags, nested elements, and other common HTML issues — the same way a web browser would render the HTML.
All processing happens in your browser. No data is sent to any server. The HTML is never rendered as active content — it's parsed safely using DOMParser.
