Extract HTML Links
Extract href targets from pasted HTML anchors, snippets, templates, email markup, and copied page fragments.
0 / 30,000 characters. No upload, storage, or account required.
Common HTML link extraction workflows
Use HTML link extraction when href values are buried inside anchor markup and you need a quick browser-local list for review.
Check page structure first
Use HTML Formatter before extraction when copied markup is minified or hard to scan.
Inspect extracted URLs
Use URL Parser and Query String Parser after extraction when links include redirects or campaign parameters.
Need all raw URLs?
Use Extract URLs when the pasted source mixes anchor tags with visible raw links.
What this tool does
Extract HTML Links finds href values in pasted anchor tags, removes duplicates, shows source-line context, and runs locally in your browser without crawling or fetching URLs.
Common use cases
Extract href values from pasted HTML anchors, templates, email markup, and copied snippets before link QA, URL parsing, or documentation cleanup.
Use Extract HTML Links when you are working with copied API payloads, logs, encoded values, config snippets, identifiers, or debugging data and need a quick browser-local check before pasting the result into docs, tickets, tests, or another developer tool.
How to use it
- Paste HTML snippets, email templates, docs fragments, or copied anchor tags that contain href attributes.
- Choose whether duplicate href values should be removed and whether encoded ampersands should be normalized.
- Review the extracted HTML link list and source lines, then copy the clean output for QA or documentation handoffs.
Example workflow
Copy a small payload or encoded value from an API response, request URL, log line, or config file. Run the focused check here, confirm the output is readable, then continue with related developer data tools such as validation, formatting, decoding, timestamp conversion, or CSV/JSON conversion.
Privacy note
HTML link extraction runs locally in your browser. ClearUtils does not upload, store, fetch, crawl, or log the HTML text or extracted links you paste.
FAQ
Does Extract HTML Links crawl the URLs it finds?
No. It only reads the pasted HTML text in your browser and extracts visible href values. It does not fetch, crawl, validate, or store URLs.
What HTML link formats are supported?
It finds common anchor tags with href values in double quotes, single quotes, or unquoted attributes inside pasted HTML snippets.
Should I format HTML before extracting links?
If the snippet is minified or hard to scan, format it first with HTML Formatter, then extract links for review.
