HTML to Plain Text Extractor
This tool turns a small HTML snippet into a readable text approximation so structure and visible copy can be inspected separately.
Extract readable text from a small HTML snippet
Paste HTML to remove tags and inspect the visible-text approximation.
Processing mode: browser-only for this tool. The interface does not require a server upload to perform its transformation.
Start with a focused browser tool
This tool turns a small HTML snippet into a readable text approximation so structure and visible copy can be inspected separately.
Designed for: Editors, developers, and QA teams checking the text content of small HTML fragments.
How to use this tool
Paste a fragment and press Extract. The tool parses it in a detached browser document, removes non-visible script/style content, and normalizes whitespace for display.
How the result is produced
The browser DOMParser creates an isolated HTML document. Text content is then collected from the parsed body rather than executed as page markup.
Test examples
<h2>Title</h2><p>Hello <strong>world</strong>.</p> becomes readable text containing Title and Hello world. It does not preserve every visual layout decision.
Limitations
The output is not a screen-reader transcript, accessibility tree, SEO audit, or security sanitizer. CSS-generated content, images, interactive behavior, and layout semantics may be missing.
Privacy and processing
The fragment is parsed locally. Do not paste private customer content or untrusted secrets into a public page.
