Question 1

How do I strip HTML tags from text online?

Accepted Answer

Paste your HTML into the input box on this page. The tool removes all tags, decodes entities (&, <,  ), keeps paragraph breaks and gives you clean plain text — same logic as how a browser renders visible content but in pure text form.

Question 2

Does the htmlstrip tool support all HTML?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The tool uses the browser's built-in DOMParser, which handles entities, malformed HTML, deeply nested tags, scripts and styles, and even legacy markup. Anything a browser can parse, this strips correctly.

Question 3

How is this better than a regex HTML strip?

Accepted Answer

Regex can't reliably handle entities, malformed tags, comments, or nested structures. This tool uses DOMParser which gets all of those right — same robust parsing the browser itself uses to render pages.

Question 4

Are scripts and styles removed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. <script>, <style> and HTML comments are stripped before extracting text — you only get the visible content, same as what users see when the page renders.

Question 5

Is anything uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. All parsing runs in your browser via DOMParser — the HTML you paste never leaves your device.
