How to Use the HTML Stripper

Paste your HTML document or fragment into the input field.

The tool removes all tags and returns only the text content — what a browser would render as visible text.

Copy the plain text output for use in data processing, content analysis, or storage.

What Is HTML Stripping?

HTML stripping removes all markup from an HTML document — tags, attributes, and structural elements — leaving only the text content. It is equivalent to what a browser renders as visible text, minus any invisible elements. This is useful when you need to process, index, analyze, or store the textual content of an HTML page or fragment without the surrounding markup. HTML stripping is different from HTML escaping — stripping removes tags entirely, while escaping makes them safe to display.

When to Use This Tool

Extracting content from web pages — Strip HTML from scraped page content to get clean, processable text for indexing or analysis.

Preparing text for NLP or ML pipelines — Machine learning models typically require plain text input; strip HTML before feeding content into a pipeline.

Cleaning CMS content — CMS fields sometimes store HTML-formatted content; strip tags to get the plain text for use in non-HTML contexts like push notifications or SMS.

Generating plain text email alternatives — Strip the HTML version of an email to produce the plain text fallback required by email clients.

FAQ

Answers about this tool and how your data is handled.

Does this preserve whitespace and line breaks from the original HTML?

Block-level elements like <p>, <div>, and <br> are typically converted to line breaks. Inline element boundaries are collapsed. Exact behavior depends on the implementation.

Are <script> and <style> tag contents also removed?

Yes. Content inside <script> and <style> tags is removed along with the tags themselves — it is not rendered as visible text.

Is this the same as HTML decoding?

No. HTML stripping removes tags entirely. HTML decoding converts entity references back to literal characters. They solve different problems and can be used together.

Does this tool send my data to a server?

No. Stripping runs entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

Can I use the output directly in a database or API?

Yes — stripped text is clean plain text. You may still want to trim excess whitespace using the whitespace remover before storing it.
