How do you extract text from HTML?

Extracting text from HTML strips out the tags, scripts and styles, then decodes entities to leave just the readable words. Snabbit turns block elements into line breaks so paragraphs stay separated, tidies extra whitespace and returns clean plain text. It all runs in your browser, so the markup you paste is never uploaded anywhere.

How to use the Extract Text From HTML

  1. 1 Paste your HTML source into the input box.
  2. 2 Tags, scripts and styles are removed automatically.
  3. 3 Entities are decoded and paragraphs kept on separate lines.
  4. 4 Copy the clean plain text.

What you can use it for

  • Copying article text out of a saved web page.
  • Cleaning HTML email into plain text.
  • Extracting content for word counts or analysis.
  • Removing markup before importing into a document.

Frequently asked questions

Does it keep the text from inside links and bold tags?
Yes. Inline tags are removed but their text content stays, so a bold word or a link’s label appears in the output as plain text.
What happens to scripts and styles?
Script and style blocks are dropped entirely, including their contents, so no code or CSS leaks into the extracted text.
Are paragraphs preserved?
Block elements like paragraphs, list items and headings become line breaks, so the result keeps a readable structure rather than one long line.
