This tool removes HTML markup and returns the readable text underneath. It strips tags, and also discards the contents of <script> and <style> blocks — a detail plenty of simple regex approaches miss, leaving JavaScript source and CSS rules mixed into the output. Block-level tags such as </p>, </div> and <br> are converted into line breaks so paragraph structure survives instead of collapsing into one dense run of words. HTML entities like & and are decoded to real characters. Use it before pasting a CMS export into a word processor, before running a word count on a scraped page, or when preparing the plain-text alternative of an HTML email.
Free, fast, and runs entirely in your browser — no signup, no upload to a server.
