HTML Tag Stripper
Paste HTML and get clean plain text with every tag removed, with options to decode entities, collapse extra whitespace, and preserve line breaks for block elements.
An HTML Tag Stripper removes every tag from a block of HTML and leaves only the readable text behind.
Paste markup from an email, a CMS export, or a web page, and get clean plain text you can drop into a document, a spreadsheet, or a prompt.
How it strips tags safely
The tool parses your HTML into a detached document with DOMParser and reads only its text content.
Nothing is ever written into the live page with innerHTML, so scripts and event handlers in the pasted markup never run.
That makes it safe to clean HTML from sources you do not fully trust.
Options that shape the output
You can decode HTML entities so & becomes & and quotes read naturally.
Collapsing whitespace squeezes runs of spaces and blank lines into tidy single gaps.
Preserving line breaks keeps paragraphs, list items, and <br> tags on their own lines instead of merging everything together, and a live character count shows the before and after sizes.
Where tag stripping fits
Stripping tags is the natural counterpart to escaping and unescaping markup.
When you need to keep tags visible as literal text rather than remove them, an HTML Encode tool converts angle brackets to entities instead.
To reverse encoded entities back into characters you would use an HTML Decode tool, and when preparing text for code you can escape it cleanly with a String Escape utility.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the HTML tag stripper work?
It parses your input into a detached document using DOMParser and extracts only the text nodes. Because it reads textContent rather than injecting HTML into the page, all tags are removed while the readable words are preserved. Scripts in the pasted markup are never executed.
Can it keep paragraph and line breaks?
Yes. Enable the preserve line breaks option and block elements such as paragraphs, divs, list items, and br tags start on their own lines. Turn it off to collapse everything into a single flowing block of text.
What does decoding HTML entities do?
Decoding turns entity codes back into the characters they represent, so & becomes an ampersand and < becomes a less-than sign. Leave it off if you want those entities to remain as literal text in the output.
Is my HTML sent to a server?
No. All parsing and stripping happens locally in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you paste is uploaded, logged, or stored, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
