Remove HTML Tags

Strip markup and scripts, leaving the visible text. Tags are removed with a real DOM parser, not regex, so tricky markup is handled correctly.

About this tool

A real DOM parser does the stripping: script and style bodies vanish, visible text remains, and collapsing keeps the result readable — no regex false positives.

How to use the Remove HTML Tags tool

  1. Paste the HTML. Any fragment or full document.
  2. Strip. Tags, scripts and styles are removed safely.
  3. Copy the text. Clean plain text output.

Supported formats

Input

  • Plain text or file input

Output

  • Converted or analysed output

Inputs are validated before anything is processed. Invalid values and unsupported files are rejected with a clear error instead of failing silently.

Frequently asked questions

Why not regex?

Regex cannot handle nested tags, comments with angle brackets or attribute values containing angle brackets. A DOM parser handles all of it.

Are entities decoded?

Yes — ampersand entities become their characters in the output text.

Is script content removed?

Both the tags and their bodies.
