Remove HTML Tags

Paste markup and get only the words — script and style blocks are removed entirely, not just their tags.

How Remove HTML Tags works

Strip HTML tags, scripts and styles to leave clean plain text. Script and style blocks are removed entirely, not just their tags. 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.

Script and style first

Script and style blocks are deleted with their contents before any tag stripping happens. That order matters: stripping tags first would leave the JavaScript itself behind as visible text.

After that, every remaining tag is removed and runs of spaces are collapsed, so the output is readable prose rather than a word per line.

A string operation, not a parser

It is a string operation, not a parser. A less-than sign inside prose can be mistaken for a tag, and malformed markup produces messy output — the HTML to text page parses properly and is the better choice when correctness matters.

When the quick version is right

A copy-paste from a CMS field, a newsletter template or an email source, where the markup is well-formed and you just need the words.

Questions

Is anything uploaded when I use Remove HTML Tags?

No. The calculation runs in your browser with JavaScript, so the values you enter never leave your device.

What should I check before relying on the result?

Paste markup and get only the words — script and style blocks are removed entirely, not just their tags. Treat the output as an estimate and verify anything critical independently.

Does it keep line breaks?

No — block tags are removed, not converted.

Is entities decoding applied?

No; &amp; stays as written.
