About This Calculator
This tool strips the markup from HTML, leaving readable text. It removes script/style blocks entirely, keeps anchor text (and optionally image alt text), converts line-breaking tags to newlines, and un-escapes common entities.
Block elements are separated by line breaks so paragraphs survive the conversion. Perfect for pulling usable text out of an email, page source, or rich-text paste.
Cleaning runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens to link destinations?
By default, anchor tags are unwrapped and their visible text is kept; the href is dropped. Disable "keep link text" to remove the anchors entirely.
Are entities decoded?
Yes — &, <, >, ", ', and are converted back into their literal characters.
