Strip HTML Tags

The tool takes the text content of the nodes, and line breaks in HTML come from tags like p, br and div rather than from the text itself. Once those are removed, neighbouring paragraphs sit side by side. Convert block by block if the structure matters, or reinsert the breaks in the finished text.

They can. The whole markup is parsed, and JavaScript inside script or CSS rules inside style count as text nodes too. When you paste a saved page, scan the start of the output and delete any code lines — or simply paste the block you actually need instead of the full document.

They are resolved into real characters: & becomes an ampersand and   becomes a space. Note that a non-breaking space stays non-breaking — visually identical to a normal one, and awkward in editors that treat it differently when wrapping lines.

No. Only the visible anchor text survives; the href disappears along with the tag. If the URLs matter, extract them beforehand, or use an HTML to Markdown converter instead, which keeps each link as text with the address in brackets.

Download saves output.txt encoded as UTF-8, so accented and Cyrillic characters open correctly in any modern editor. Very old Windows programs expecting a legacy code page may show mojibake; open the file in an editor that lets you pick the encoding if that happens.

Nothing is capped in the code, but parsing runs in a single browser tab. A multi-megabyte page will visibly freeze the interface while it works, so large exports are easier to clean in chunks. There is no file input either — pasting text is the only way in.
