About This Tool

What This Tool Does

Removes formatting markup from text, leaving clean plain prose:

  • Strips HTML tags (<p>, <a>, <img>, etc.)
  • Strips Markdown syntax (asterisks, hashes, brackets, fences)
  • Preserves the visible text content
  • Optionally normalizes whitespace and decodes HTML entities

When to Use

  • Pasting from a CMS or website into a plain-text editor
  • Cleaning copy before sending to a translator or proofreader
  • Preparing input for word counters or AI prompts
  • Extracting reading-only content from formatted documents

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the HTML stripper safe?
Yes u2014 the tool uses a regex-based stripper and decodes entities through a hidden textarea (which the browser handles natively). It never executes any HTML or scripts. Stripped output is pure text.
Will it preserve line breaks?
Yes. Block-level tags like

,
,

  • , are converted to newlines so paragraph structure is preserved. The 'Normalize whitespace' option collapses excessive blank lines.
  • Can it convert HTML to Markdown instead of stripping?
    Not directly u2014 this tool removes formatting. For HTMLu2192Markdown conversion, use a dedicated tool or library like Turndown. This stripper is for getting to plain text quickly.
