Strip every HTML tag from a block of rich text and keep only the readable content — entities decoded, whitespace tidied, ready to paste into plain documents.
Tool Overview
Sometimes you copy a paragraph from a website or an email and the result is buried in <span>, <div>, and <p> wrappers. This tool removes every HTML tag, decodes named and numeric entities (&, '), and collapses runs of whitespace so you get clean prose. <script> and <style> blocks are removed entirely (tag and contents) so you don’t end up with leftover code. Block-level tags become line breaks, so paragraph structure is preserved.
Use Cases
- Convert an HTML email export to plain text for archival or compliance.
- Strip markup from a CMS field before piping it into a search index.
- Get readable copy out of a webpage without manually deleting tags.
Input/Output Examples

Their contents are removed entirely so you do not see leftover JavaScript or CSS in the output.
