Introducing the HTML Stripper — Tags Out, Text In

Copied web or email content usually arrives wrapped in tags and entities you never wanted. The new HTML Stripper removes all of it and leaves clean plain text, in your browser.

What it does

• Removes every tag in a single pass.
• Discards script and style contents entirely — no leftover code.
• Decodes entities so & becomes & (optional).
• Collapses whitespace for tidy paragraphs (optional).
• Preserves line breaks at block boundaries to keep rough layout.
• Private: everything runs client-side; nothing is uploaded.

Why it matters

Plain text is what you need for spreadsheets, messages, word counts, and exports — but pasted content rarely comes that way. Stripping deterministically means the same messy input always cleans up identically, with the three usual pitfalls — leftover code, undecoded entities, and accumulated whitespace — handled for you.
