Privacy and data

Stripping is done in-browser; HTML is not sent to a server.

FAQ

Q: What does the tool strip by default?
A: All HTML tags are removed by default, leaving only the text content. Entities like &amp; and &lt; are also decoded to their plain-text equivalents (& and <).
Q: How do I keep certain tags like <br> or <a>?
A: Enter the tag names you want to preserve in the "Preserved tags" field (e.g. br, a, p). Those tags and their attributes will remain in the output; all other tags are stripped.
Q: Is this useful for cleaning up WYSIWYG editor output?
A: Yes. Rich text editors (TinyMCE, Quill, CKEditor, etc.) often produce HTML with many spans, divs, and inline styles. This tool strips all those tags while keeping the raw text content.
Q: Can I use this to extract text from scraped HTML?
A: Yes. Paste the HTML of a web page or API response and the tool extracts the visible text content. For best results, remove scripts and styles first, or add script and style to the stripped tags list.
Q: Does this tool send my HTML to a server?
A: No. All processing is performed entirely in the browser. Your HTML is never sent to any server.
