Strip HTML Tags — From Markup Soup to Clean Text
CMS exports, scraped pages, and HTML emails bury their actual words inside layers of divs, spans, classes, and inline styles. This free tool strips every tag, deletes script and style blocks entirely, decodes entities (&, , smart quotes), and — in block-aware mode — keeps paragraph structure readable. Instant, in-browser, no signup.
What Gets Removed vs Decoded
| Input | Output |
|---|---|
| <p class="lead">Hello</p> | Hello |
| <script>track()</script> | (nothing — contents deleted) |
| Fish & Chips | Fish & Chips |
| café | café |
| <li>First</li><li>Second</li> | First⏎Second (block mode) |
Everyday Jobs
- Accurate word counts — counting HTML source inflates totals with markup; strip first, count second.
- Plain-text email versions — every HTML campaign needs a text alternative for deliverability; generate it in seconds.
- Data pipelines — scraped content needs tag removal before NLP, search indexing, or spreadsheet import.
- Content migration — extract just the words from a legacy CMS when the markup is beyond saving (when structure is worth keeping, our HTML to Markdown converter preserves it instead).
The Entity Decoding Detail
Half-finished strippers leave “curly quotes” and artifacts scattered through the output. Full entity decoding — named, decimal, and hex forms — is what makes the result genuinely paste-ready rather than needing a second cleanup pass.
