How to use Strip HTML Tags

  1. Paste or type your input. You can also load the example below.
  2. Adjust the available options. Results update after you finish typing; for very large inputs, select Run.
  3. Review the result, then copy it or download it to your device.

How this tool works

Scripts, styles, templates, and noscript content are removed. Structural mode separates blocks, adds list bullets, and separates table cells with tabs. Input is parsed in memory, never executed.

Input and output stay in the current page. Refreshing or closing the page clears them. For very large inputs, use Run to start processing; a task that takes too long is stopped so you can change the input.

Frequently asked questions

Can the plain-text result keep lists and paragraph breaks?

Enable Keep line structure. Block elements create line boundaries, list items receive text bullets, and table cells are separated with tabs. Turning it off produces a flatter text result.

What happens to HTML entities and embedded scripts?

Decode HTML entities turns references such as & into their text characters. Script, style, template, and noscript content is removed. The input is parsed in memory rather than executed as a page.
