Strip HTML Tags
Remove all HTML tags and keep only the readable text content.
Strip HTML Tags
Pull the clean, readable text out of any HTML snippet. Every tag is removed and the most common HTML entities are decoded back into normal characters, leaving you with plain text.
What it handles
- Removes all <tags> from the markup
- Decodes &, <, >, " and more
- Collapses excessive blank lines
- Leaves the visible text untouched
Common scenarios
Extract article copy from a web page, clean up rich-text email content, or convert formatted snippets into plain text for word counts and analysis.
Tags vs. entities
HTML uses tags like <p> for structure and entities like & to represent reserved characters. This tool removes the tags and converts the common entities back to their literal symbols so the result reads naturally.
