HTML to Plain Text
Strip HTML tags and convert markup into readable plain text directly in your browser.
Strip copied markup, then continue with spacing cleanup, title case, or URL extraction.
Common HTML cleanup workflows
HTML to Plain Text is most useful when copied content still contains tags, inline formatting, embedded scripts, or entity noise that should be removed before editing.
Clean copied web content
Paste HTML from a browser or CMS, convert it here, then use Remove Extra Spaces or Remove Empty Lines for a final cleanup pass.
Prepare content for publishing
After stripping markup, use Title Case Converter for headings or Word Counter to check the length of the cleaned copy.
Move between formats
If the source was Markdown rather than raw HTML, try Markdown to Plain Text first, then compare the result with this tool for HTML exports.
What this tool does
Use HTML to Plain Text when you are cleaning copied page content, CMS snippets, email templates, or export fragments and want the readable text without markup noise.
How to use it
- Paste HTML into the input box.
- Decide whether to preserve block breaks, strip scripts and styles, and decode entities.
- Copy the plain text result into your next workflow, such as cleanup or publishing.
Privacy note
HTML to Plain Text runs locally in your browser. ClearUtils does not upload or store your pasted HTML.
FAQ
Does this remove scripts and styles?
Yes. Script and style blocks are removed by default so copied HTML is turned into readable plain text without embedded code or CSS noise.
Will it keep paragraphs readable?
Yes. Block-level tags can be converted into line breaks so paragraphs, list items, and headings stay easy to read after stripping HTML.
Does this tool upload my HTML?
No. HTML to Plain Text runs in your browser and does not send pasted markup to a server.
