HTML to Text

Convert HTML to plain text by removing markup while keeping the readable content. This is useful for extracting article copy, cleaning email templates, reviewing scraped HTML, preparing search text, or moving web content into a text-only system.

How HTML is converted to text

Paragraphs, headings, list items, table rows, and other block elements are separated with line breaks. Table cells are separated with tabs, and repeated blank lines are reduced so the result is easier to copy and edit. Script and style content is ignored.

How to use this HTML to text converter

1. Paste an HTML fragment or document into the HTML field.
2. Check the plain text output and make any final spacing edits you need.
3. Copy the result for a document, import, transcript, or text-processing workflow.

The converter reads the HTML you provide but does not load external pages or execute JavaScript. Text created dynamically by a website must be copied from the rendered page first. Processing stays in your browser.
