Settings

How this converter works

The converter parses a detached, resource-blocked HTML document and walks its text nodes. It never mounts pasted markup in the live page.

  • Paragraph, list, and table structure are controlled explicitly.
  • Script, style, frame, image, object, and stylesheet elements are ignored.
  • Only safe link destinations can be appended.

Frequently asked questions

Can pasted scripts run?

No. Pasted HTML is parsed inertly and executable or remote-resource elements are ignored.

Is malformed HTML accepted?

The browser HTML parser applies its normal deterministic recovery rules.

Using this tool

Extract readable text from HTML

Convert inert pasted HTML into readable text with controls for paragraphs, lists, tables, and safe link URLs.

Input and output

Example: `<p>Hello <strong>world</strong></p>` becomes `Hello world`.

Important behaviour

Pasted markup is parsed away from the live page; script, style, frame, image, and unsafe link content are ignored.

Keep in mind

HTML recovery follows the browser parser for malformed markup, while this route is not an HTML validator.

Conversion is performed in the browser. Copying or downloading happens only when you choose those actions.
