    Text copied from a web page often brings HTML along: tags like <p>, <span> or <a>, plus scripts and style declarations. This tool removes all the markup and leaves only the readable text - ideal for turning content from a page, an email template or an editor into plain text.

    The content of script and style blocks is discarded entirely, because that is code and not prose. Block boundaries like paragraphs and line breaks become real line breaks, so the text keeps its structure. Optionally, HTML entities like &amp; or &auml; are turned back into their characters and the remaining whitespace is tidied up.

    The whole conversion runs entirely locally in your browser in pure JavaScript - your text is not uploaded, not stored, and no foreign library is loaded from a CDN. You can download the result as a text file or copy it straight out.

    In 3 steps

    1. Paste HTML or marked-up text into the text field.
    2. Optionally choose to decode entities and tidy whitespace.
    3. Read the plain text or download it as a text file.

    Limitations: The tool removes markup and outputs plain text; it does not render a page or keep formatting like bold or links. Script and style content is discarded. For valid HTML the result is reliable; with badly broken markup some text may occasionally remain or be missing.

    FAQ

    Is my text uploaded?

    No. The conversion runs entirely locally in your browser; your text never leaves your device and is not stored.

    Are links or bold kept?

    No. Plain text remains; the markup is removed and only the readable content is left.

    What happens to scripts and styles?

    The content of <script> and <style> blocks is discarded entirely, because it is code and not text.

    What does "decode HTML entities" mean?

    Characters written as an entity (such as &amp; for & or &auml; for ä) are turned back into the respective character. Without the option they stay as they are.
