The HTML to Text Converter is a utility for extracting raw copy from webpage templates, email codes, or formatted posts. If you copy a webpage's source code, it is wrapped in divs, paragraphs, lists, and metadata. This tool strips away all HTML tags, scripts, and stylesheet tags, leaving only the readable plain text.

The parsing runs entirely client-side, keeping your code structures private.
