HTML to Text Converter

What is HTML to Text Converter?

The HTML to text converter removes markup and returns readable plain text. It is useful for extracting copy from web pages, email templates and CMS content without manually deleting tags.

How It Works

The input is parsed into an inert document, script and style elements are removed, block-level elements are converted into line breaks, and HTML entities are decoded into their characters.

Common Use Cases

  • Extracting article text from saved HTML
  • Preparing plain-text versions of emails
  • Cleaning CMS output before word counting
  • Creating readable previews of markup

Technical Details

Uses the browser DOMParser with an inert document. Scripts are never executed, and the input never leaves the device.

FAQ

Are scripts inside the HTML executed?

No. The parser creates an inert document and removes script and style content before producing text.

Is my data uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your input never leaves your device.

Does HTML to Text Converter work on mobile?

Yes. The interface is responsive and works in modern mobile browsers without installing an app.
