About this tool
Strip HTML tags to recover readable text from emails, CMS exports, and scraped fragments. Line-breaking tags such as br, p, and headings become newlines before tags are removed so paragraphs do not smash together.
How to use: paste markup, optionally decode entities, copy plain text. Entity decoding turns &, , and numeric entities into real characters. That is enough for typical rich-text paste; it is not a full browser HTML parser, which keeps the tool fast and offline.
Example: a newsletter <p>Hello</p> becomes Hello on its own line. Scripts and attributes disappear with the tags. If the HTML contains private names or unreleased copy, it remains in your tab until you copy the plain text.
Markup never goes to a sanitizer API. Related: Markdown editor if you wanted formatted preview rather than stripping, HTML escape if you needed entities instead of removal. This is recovery of readable copy, not a security sandbox. Do not treat it as XSS protection for a site you ship.
