About
Utilize this tool to eliminate all HTML tags from an HTML fragment. The outcome will be a clean, plain text that you can effortlessly copy and paste into a word document or any other location. The Strip HTML Tags tool is secure to use. It is capable of identifying genuine greater than (>) and less than (<) symbols and exclusively removes HTML tags. Other online HTML remover tools often presume that the text is strictly HTML, leading to the removal of all unencoded brackets as tags. For instance, they would transform the text a1 < b1 and c1 > d1 into a1 d1.
Clean Text
This feature is optional and disabled by default. Its purpose is to eliminate empty lines, leaving you with a plain block of text devoid of additional vertical white spaces.
Remove HTML tags from a text fragment for reuse as plain text. Review the result when markup originally separated words or paragraphs.
How to use
Paste the HTML, choose empty line cleanup and trimming if needed, then strip. Copy the result after checking spacing.
Example
<p>Hello <strong>world</strong></p> becomes Hello world. Markdown markers such as **bold** are not removed by this operation.
FAQ
Is the result safe HTML?
This is a plain text cleanup tool, not an HTML sanitizer. Keep the output in a text context and do not insert it as trusted HTML.
A practical task
Check neighboring text after removing tags. Separate block elements can lose the visible spacing once their tags disappear. Add paragraph boundaries deliberately when reusing the result in an email or document.
Another useful question
Will HTML entities become ordinary characters?
Tag removal and entity decoding are separate tasks. Inspect strings such as & after cleanup and use the entity decoder when one decoding layer is actually needed.
Details for interpreting the result
| Detail | Explanation |
|---|---|
| HTML and plain text | HTML tags describe structure. Plain text displays characters without interpreting them as tags. Decide which result you need before removing markup, escaping brackets, or pasting output into an editor. |
| HTML character references | Character references such as & describe a character inside HTML. A reference can be escaped again when nested in another source. Decoding one layer is different from decoding every layer of a value. |
| Escaping and sanitizing | Escaping represents special characters literally. Sanitizing removes or changes unsafe markup according to rules. Neither operation should be replaced by assuming that unknown input contains harmless display text. |
| Preview boundaries | A restricted preview can block scripts, external images, fonts, and other resources. That keeps the preview separate from active page behavior, but it also means it is not a faithful copy of every production layout. |
