Why Strip HTML Tags?

HTML tags add markup and formatting but sometimes you need the raw text. Useful for word counts, text analysis, copying content to plain text editors, extracting article content from web scraping, and preparing text for systems that don't accept HTML.

Example: You scrape product descriptions from a website and get "<div class='desc'>Amazing <strong>product</strong></div>". You need just "Amazing product" to import into your database. Or you have an email template in HTML and need to generate a plain text version for email clients that don't support HTML.

Use cases: Extracting article text from web scraping, generating plain text email versions, analyzing text content without markup, preparing text for SMS or plain text systems, counting actual words in HTML documents, and cleaning pasted content from rich text editors.

Privacy & Security

All HTML stripping happens locally in your browser. Your HTML is never uploaded to servers, stored, or logged. The conversion uses JavaScript, keeping your content completely private.
