HTML to Text
NewExtract plain text from HTML, preserving structure and optionally converting links.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same thing as sanitizing HTML?
No. This tool extracts plain text structure, but it is not a security sanitizer. Because it walks the DOM for text, things like script text can still end up in the output as text.
Can it keep headings and lists readable?
Yes. You can preserve list bullets or numbering, and headings can stay plain, be forced to uppercase, or be underlined with = characters.
Will links keep their URLs?
Only if you enable the link option. When that checkbox is on, anchors become [text](url); otherwise you just get the link text, or the href if there is no text label.
Why doesn’t table content look like the original page layout?
This converter uses a simple DOM walk with block-level line breaks, not a visual rendering engine. Tables are not specially flattened into aligned columns.
Does it convert live while I type?
No. It runs when you click Convert. Copy and Clear are separate actions.
