About this tool
This tool removes HTML tags from the text you paste and leaves what was between them. Anything that looks like a tag is deleted: a less-than sign followed by a letter, a slash or an exclamation mark, up to the closing greater-than sign, including attributes and closing tags. It is a quick text cleanup and not an HTML parser: script and style elements and HTML comments are removed together with their contents, and entities such as & are not converted back to symbols. A less-than sign in plain text, like a < b, is kept. Line breaks in your source are kept as they are. The work happens in your browser, so the HTML you paste is not sent anywhere.
How to use it
- Paste your HTML into the input box.
- The text without tags appears in the output.
- Press Copy to take the result.
Example
<p>Hello <b>world</b></p>
Hello world
Common problems
- Script or CSS code remains in the output
- Only the tags are removed, not the content between them. Delete script and style blocks from the input first.
- Entities like & or are still there
- The tool does not decode entities. Use an HTML entity decoder on the result.
- Text that looks like a tag is removed
- A less-than sign followed by a letter, such as <name, is treated as the start of a tag and removed up to the next > or the end of the text, while a < b is kept. Escape or reword such text first.
