Strip HTML is a free, private online tool that lets you remove all HTML tags from text, leaving just the readable content. It runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you enter is uploaded to a server.
Privacy: this tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never sent to, received by, or stored on any server — there are no uploads and no tracking of what you enter.
It parses the HTML and returns only the text content, discarding all tags, attributes and scripts.
Cleaning copied web content, extracting article text, and preparing HTML for plain-text emails or analysis.
Because it runs in your browser, even messy or untrusted HTML stays on your device.
An HTML tag remover strips all the markup out of a chunk of HTML, leaving only the readable text content. Tags, attributes and scripts are discarded, so <p>Hello <b>world</b></p> becomes simply 'Hello world'. It is the fastest way to extract plain text from web source or rich content.
The tool parses your input as HTML using the browser's own engine and then reads back just the text nodes, dropping everything inside angle brackets. Because it uses a real parser rather than naive find-and-replace, it handles nested tags, attributes and malformed markup gracefully, and it never executes any scripts in the content.
Stripping HTML is handy when you copy formatted content from a web page and want clean text, when preparing an HTML email or article for a plain-text version, when extracting readable copy for analysis or word counts, and when sanitising content before storing or comparing it. It removes the visual clutter and leaves just the words.
Pasting HTML into an online tool can be sensitive if it contains private content. Because this stripper runs entirely client-side, your markup is parsed locally and never uploaded, making it safe for internal pages, draft content and proprietary HTML. It also works offline once the page has loaded.
Paste your HTML and the plain text appears instantly, ready to copy. Note that it returns text only - links become their visible text without the URL, and layout is reduced to plain lines. For converting plain text or Markdown into HTML instead, use the Markdown to HTML tool.
