Extract URLs

How Extract URLs works

Extract every URL from text, with unique filtering and an HTTPS-only option. Everything happens inside this page: the tool reads your input, runs the calculation or conversion locally, and hands the result back to you. Nothing is transmitted, because there is no backend to transmit it to.

That design choice is deliberate. Most free tool sites upload your files to a server, process them there, and quietly keep a copy. Toolcin cannot do that — the site is a set of static files. If your connection dropped the moment the page finished loading, every tool would still work.

What counts as a URL

The pattern requires a scheme — http:// or https:// — and then consumes everything up to whitespace, a quote, an angle bracket or a closing bracket. That covers the URLs found in prose, logs and chat exports without swallowing the punctuation that follows them.

Because a scheme is required, bare domains like example.com/page are not found. Add the scheme or use the full-URL form if you need them.

The HTTPS-only filter

Turning it on drops every plain-http URL. That is useful when auditing a page for mixed content or building a link list that should not send users to an insecure origin.

It does not check whether an https URL actually works — only that the scheme is https.

Practical uses

Pulling every link out of a log file before a migration, checking which external domains a draft cites, and building a redirect map from an old page's outbound links.

De-duplication is on by default, which is what you want when the same link appears in a navigation block twenty times.

Good to know

• Works offline once loaded, including on flights and in locked-down networks.
• No file size limit beyond your device's own memory.
• Free to use, with no account and no usage counter.
• Results are produced locally, so they are not logged or shared with anyone.
