Plain Text Converter - Strip HTML & Formatting

A plain text converter removes HTML tags, inline styles, emojis, and non-printable characters, leaving clean text. It helps when you paste from the web, rich email clients, or PDFs and need a simple text version. All processing happens in your browser, so your content stays private.

1. Paste content: Add HTML, rich text, or formatted snippets.
2. Convert: The tool strips tags and common entities automatically.
3. Get results: View plain text instantly. Copy it or download as a .txt file.

• Clean inputs: Prepare text for CMS fields, emails, or code comments without hidden markup.
• Safer sharing: Strip scripts and tracking fragments before forwarding content.
• Local privacy: Nothing is uploaded; everything runs in your browser.

Use case 1: CMS pasting

Remove web formatting before pasting into your editor to avoid broken styles.

Use case 2: Email sanitizing

Strip tracking pixels and scripts from forwarded emails to share safely.

Use case 3: Data preprocessing

Clean scraped HTML before running analysis or word counts.

Basic example

Input: <p>Hello <strong>World</strong></p>
Output: Hello World

Advanced example

Input: HTML email with scripts and emojis
Filters: Remove scripts/styles, remove emojis
Output: Plain text body ready for archiving.

Missing desired symbols

Emoji and special symbols are removed when filters are on. Disable those options if you need them kept.

Collapsed spacing

HTML tags may compress spacing. Run the whitespace remover after conversion for tidy spacing.

• Pair with the remove formatting tool for deeper cleaning of invisible characters.
• After stripping, apply the sentence case converter to normalize casing.
• For URLs, re-encode query strings with the URL encoder/decoder.

• Remove stray spaces with the whitespace remover.
• Flatten wrapped text using the remove line breaks tool.

Conversion runs locally in your browser. No content is uploaded or stored.
