HTML Tag Stripper – The Easiest Way to Clean Your Content

Working with raw HTML can be messy, especially when you need to extract the core message for an article, email, or report. Our HTML Tag Stripper is a powerful, browser-based utility designed to instantly remove all HTML markup, leaving you with nothing but clean, readable plain text. Whether you are a developer cleaning up scraped data or a writer repurposing web content, this tool saves you hours of manual editing.

Why Use an Online HTML Tag Remover?

Manually deleting tags like <div>, <span>, and <a> is tedious and prone to errors. A dedicated strip markup tool ensures that every single tag is identified and removed accurately. This is particularly useful for:

  • Content Migration: Moving text from an old CMS to a new one without carrying over broken styling.
  • SEO Analysis: Extracting the visible text of a page to check keyword density and readability.
  • Data Cleaning: Preparing web-scraped data for spreadsheets or databases.
  • Email Formatting: Ensuring your text doesn't contain hidden HTML that could trigger spam filters.

Advanced Features: Scripts, Styles, and Line Breaks

Most basic strippers simply remove anything inside angle brackets. Our tool goes further. By enabling the Remove Scripts/Styles option, you can eliminate the code inside <script> and <style> blocks, which usually isn't part of the visible text.

Furthermore, the Preserve Line Breaks feature intelligently detects block-level elements like paragraphs and headers, replacing them with new lines. This prevents your text from becoming one giant, unreadable block of words, maintaining the original structure of the information.

How to Strip HTML Tags Instantly

  1. Paste: Copy your HTML code and paste it into the input box.
  2. Configure: Choose whether to keep line breaks or remove script contents.
  3. Copy: The cleaned text appears instantly in the result box. Click "Copy Text" to use it anywhere.

Just as our Meta Tag Generator helps you build code, the HTML Tag Stripper helps you dismantle it, giving you total control over your digital content.
