How to use

  1. 1 Paste your HTML.
  2. 2 Toggle "Keep line breaks" to convert <code class="font-mono text-xs">&lt;br&gt;</code> and block elements into newlines.
  3. 3 Toggle "Keep links" to preserve href URLs alongside link text.
  4. 4 Toggle "Preserve whitespace" if your HTML uses meaningful spacing.

Why use this tool

  • Parses via the browser's DOMParser — accurate, no fragile regex.
  • <code class="font-mono text-xs">&lt;script&gt;</code>, <code class="font-mono text-xs">&lt;style&gt;</code>, and <code class="font-mono text-xs">&lt;noscript&gt;</code> contents are dropped entirely.
  • HTML entities (<code class="font-mono text-xs">&amp;amp;</code>, <code class="font-mono text-xs">&amp;nbsp;</code>) are decoded automatically.
  • Pure client-side — your markup never leaves your browser.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between this and HTML to Markdown?

This strips all formatting to plain text. <a class="text-brand-600 hover:underline" href="/html-to-markdown">HTML to Markdown</a> preserves headings, lists, bold, links, and code blocks as Markdown syntax.

Why are scripts dropped?

Their content isn't visible text — extracting it would be misleading. Same for <code class="font-mono text-xs">&lt;style&gt;</code> blocks.
