HTML to Text

Strip script, style and HTML tags from a snippet, preserve basic paragraph breaks and decode entities without executing the supplied markup.

Input stays in this browser.

How it works

Immediate local processing.

1. Enter your input. Paste text, a value or the data this utility expects.
2. Adjust the relevant options. The result updates locally as your input changes.
3. Copy the result. No remote conversion roundtrip is required.
