When NOT to use Remove HTML Tags

  • It extracts text only — it cannot preserve tables, links, or formatting; use a full HTML-to-Markdown converter if you need structure.
  • Text inside <script> and <style> blocks is removed along with the tags' styling code, but malformed or partial HTML snippets may leave stray fragments — check the output.

Questions people ask

Is my text sent to a server?

No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere.

What happens to paragraphs and line breaks?

With the default option, closing paragraph/heading tags and <br> become line breaks, so the text keeps its structure instead of collapsing into one block.

Are HTML entities like &amp; converted?

Yes, with 'Decode HTML entities' on, entities such as &amp;, &lt; and &nbsp; are converted back to the characters they represent.
