HTML to Text
Strip HTML down to readable plain text while keeping the content rather than the tags. It is useful for cleaning copied web pages, email templates, snippets, and CMS exports. It is free, needs no account, and adds no watermark to your result.

What people use it for.
What happens to your file.
The HTML is parsed, script and style content is ignored, block elements become line breaks, and entities are decoded into readable characters. The result is plain text suitable for copying or downloading.
Where it stops: Visual layout, tables, and hidden CSS-dependent meaning do not survive as formatting. For a document output, use HTML to Word or HTML to PDF.
Everything you need, without a paywall.
Common questions.
Does it remove scripts?
Yes. Script and style content are ignored in the plain-text result.
Will links remain?
Visible link text remains. The href itself may not be included unless it appears in the text.
Can it convert full web pages?
Paste the HTML source. It does not fetch a URL for you.
