Remove every HTML tag from your content, leaving clean plain text. Useful for pasting rich content as plain text.

How to use

Paste or type your text into the box above, then read or copy the result. Everything runs privately in your browser, your text is never uploaded to a server.

How to use this tool

1. Paste your HTML content into the input box.
2. Click the remove tags or strip HTML button.
3. Review the plain text result in the output area.
4. Copy the cleaned text and paste it wherever you need plain text.

Step by step, what happens

1. The tool reads the full text you paste, including any HTML tags and the text between them.
2. It removes every tag element, such as headings, links, paragraphs, and formatting tags.
3. It keeps the visible text content and discards the HTML markup itself.
4. The result is shown as plain text that you can copy without extra HTML code.

Worked example

Here is what happens if you paste a small HTML snippet with a title and a link.

Input: <h1>Welcome</h1><p>Visit <a href="/docs">the docs</a> now.</p>

1. You paste the HTML snippet into the tool.
2. The tool strips out the h1, p, and a tags, but keeps the words inside them.
3. The output shows only the readable text, with the link text preserved.

Tips and common mistakes

• This tool removes tags, but it does not rebuild spacing for you, so joined text may need a manual space or line break after copying.
• If you only want visible text, this is the right tool, but if you need to keep links or formatting, use an HTML to text converter that preserves structure.
• HTML entities such as & may still appear as text unless the tool also decodes entities, so check the output before pasting it elsewhere.
• For long content, remove tags first and then do a quick read through to catch any spacing or punctuation changes.
