Remove HTML Tags
Paste text with embedded HTML markup and strip every tag in one click, keeping just the readable content. Decode HTML entities and turn block-level tags into real line breaks so the result reads like plain text, not leftover markup.
Why This Tool Matters
You copy content out of a web page, a CMS export, or an email newsletter and it drags along a tangle of <div>, <span>, and <a> tags with it. Paste that straight into a plain-text email, a spreadsheet cell, or a CMS field that doesn't render raw HTML, and you end up with visible angle brackets and attributes cluttering the text instead of the clean content you wanted. This tool strips every tag in one pass, decodes entities like & and back into normal characters, and can turn paragraph and line breaks into real newlines — so what you paste elsewhere is just the text, nothing else.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this remove script or style tags along with their content, or just the tags?+−
It removes the entire block — the opening tag, the closing tag, and everything in between. Script and style content is code, not text, so leaving it behind as stray JavaScript or CSS would make the output messier, not cleaner. Every other tag only has the tag itself stripped; the text inside it is kept.
Does this work on a full HTML document or just a snippet?+−
Both. You can paste a small snippet like a single paragraph, or an entire page source including a doctype, head, and body — the tool strips tags wherever they appear and returns whatever readable text is left.
What happens to links — do I lose the URL, just the tag?+−
You lose the URL. An <a href="…"> tag is removed along with its href attribute, and only the visible link text between the opening and closing tags is kept. If you need the URLs too, copy them separately before running the tool.
Is there a size limit for how much HTML I can paste?+−
No hard-coded limit. The conversion runs entirely in your browser, so it comfortably handles anything from a short snippet to a full page of exported HTML.
