About Remove HTML Tags
The HTML tag remover strips every <tag> and </tag> from your input, leaving only the textual content. It's a quick way to convert an HTML blob into plain text for indexing, search, or pasting into a context that doesn't accept markup.
When to use it
- Producing plain text from an HTML email or snippet
- Indexing or searching content where HTML noise hurts results
- Pasting webpage content into a text-only field
- Stripping markup before doing a word count
How it works
The regex /<[^>]*>/g matches anything between angle brackets and removes it. HTML entities (&, <, etc.) are passed through unchanged — combine with the HTML entity decoder if you want them resolved too.
Examples
<p>Hello <strong>world</strong>!</p>
Hello world!
Frequently asked questions
- Are HTML entities decoded?
- No — & stays as &, stays as . Use the HTML entity decoder afterward for a full plain-text conversion.
- What about <script> and <style> contents?
- Their tags are removed but the content between them is kept — meaning JavaScript or CSS source could end up in the output. For 'real' HTML-to-text conversion, use the HTML → Markdown tool or pre-process by removing those blocks first.
- Is the output safe to display as-is?
- Yes — once tags are stripped, the result is plain text with no executable markup.
