HTML to Text
Strip HTML tags and get clean plain text.
How to use HTML to Text
Free HTML to text converter: remove tags, decode entities and keep readable text from any HTML snippet.
Open HTML to Text on toolpermarket — the form is ready, so type your numbers and read the result.
Provide the value or text the tool asks for in the single input field. The field is labelled clearly so you always know what to enter.
Press Convert to compute the result. The output appears immediately below the form. Edit a value and press the button once more to see the updated answer.
Read the result and use it as needed. If the number looks off, re-check your inputs and run it again — the math is deterministic, so the same entries always return the same answer.
Worked example. Pasting <p>Hello <b>world</b></p> returns the plain line Hello world.
Tips for accurate results.
Use it to clean rich-text paste before saving it as data.
Nested tags collapse to their inner text automatically.
A blank result means the input was all markup and no visible text.
When to use HTML to Text. Pulling readable copy out of an HTML email snippet. Stripping tags before counting or searching words. Recovering text from a copied web element.
When you actually reach for this
- You need the readable text of a page for search indexing, a plain email, or accessibility checks.
- You are stripping markup before running NLP or keyword extraction on scraped content.
Where this tool stops being accurate
- It removes all structure, so tables become rows of text and headings lose their emphasis.
- Script and style content is usually excluded, but some inline handlers may leak if the cleaner is naive.
Frequently asked questions
Does it keep my formatting?
No, and that is the point: headings, bold and links become plain words so you can read or process the text without markup getting in the way.
Is the text uploaded?
Never. The conversion happens locally on your device and the input is not sent anywhere.
What happens to a script tag?
Its text content is also extracted, but it is not executed, so pasting markup here is safe to do.
Why is my extracted text missing the table data?
Plain-text output linearizes tables without boundaries; if you need tabular fidelity, convert to Markdown or CSV instead of flat text.
The text has weird leftover brackets — what are those?
Likely artifact tags a weak cleaner missed, or template placeholders. A stricter HTML parser pass before extraction fixes it.
