What this tool does
Use this tool to strip HTML tags from copied web content and keep only the plain, readable text. Paste HTML or content copied from a web page, run it, and the tags come off, leaving the words in their original order. It prepares text for documents, emails, spreadsheets and editors that should not carry web formatting. The result is ready to copy and reuse.
When plain text is what you need
Copied web content often brings hidden markup with it: headings, links, bold spans and layout tags that distort a document or break a plain-text field. Removing the tags gives you clean copy you can format yourself. It is also a first step before counting words, cleaning text, or pasting content into a system that rejects HTML.
Good to know
Script and style contents are removed along with their tags, so embedded code and CSS never leak into the result. The output keeps the order of the text but not the page layout: columns, tables and spacing from the original design become ordinary running text that you may need to tidy.
Frequently asked questions
How do I remove HTML tags from content?
Paste the HTML or copied web content into the box and click Run Tags. The result is the same content as plain text, ready to copy.
Will links and formatting survive?
No. Links, bold, headings and other formatting are part of the tags, so they are removed too. Only the readable text remains, in its original order.
Is the content I paste private?
Yes. Stripping happens in your browser, so your content stays on your device and is not sent to a server or stored by the tool.
