Convert HTML to Text

Convert HTML to plain text locally in your browser.

Tool workspace

Convert HTML to plain text in your browser. Tags are stripped; useful line breaks from blocks and breaks are kept. Scripts are not executed. Nothing you paste is uploaded.

How it works

Paste HTML—the result updates as you type.

Conversion runs entirely in your browser: tags are stripped to readable plain text, common entities are decoded, and useful line breaks are kept after block elements (paragraphs, headings, list items, table rows) and `<br>`. Script, style, noscript, and template contents are omitted. The result is plain text in the output box — it is never injected into the page or uploaded.

Empty input clears the result—no error. This is a practical text extractor, not an HTML pretty-printer. Convert HTML to Markdown and Convert HTML to Jade are related tools when you need structured markup instead.

Examples

  • <p>Hello <strong>world</strong></p> → Hello world
  • <h1>Title</h1><p>Body</p> → Title / blank line / Body
  • A &amp; B → A & B
  • <script>…</script><p>ok</p> → ok (script omitted)

FAQ

Is my HTML uploaded?

No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser. We do not log or store what you paste.

Are line breaks preserved?

Useful breaks from block elements and line breaks are kept where practical. Excess blank lines are collapsed. Inline tags do not force new lines.

Do I need an account?

No. All published tools work for guests without login.
