What this HTML to text tool does
Paste any HTML snippet or full page source and this tool returns clean, readable plain text. It removes every tag, throws away the contents of <script> and <style> blocks, and turns block elements like <p>, <div>, headings and <br> into real line breaks so the layout still reads naturally. Common HTML entities such as &, <, >, ", ' and , plus numeric references like A, are decoded back to normal characters, and excess blank lines are collapsed.
When to use it
Use it to pull the copy out of an email template, clean a snippet you copied from a web page, prepare text for word counting or translation, or strip markup before pasting into a plain-text field. Because the conversion is a deterministic set of rules rather than a live browser DOM, you get the same result every time. Paste on the left, copy the plain text on the right — no sign-up, no limits.
Frequently asked questions
Does it remove script and style code?
Yes. The entire contents of <script> and <style> blocks are dropped, along with HTML comments, so no JavaScript or CSS ends up in your plain text output.
Are HTML entities like &nbsp; decoded?
Yes. Named entities (&, <, >, ", ', ) and numeric references in decimal or hex (like A or A) are converted back to the characters they represent.
Is my HTML uploaded to a server?
No. All parsing and stripping happens locally in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing you paste is sent, stored or uploaded anywhere.
