Remove HTML from Text Instantly - CleanUpTxt Tool
Copy-pasting from websites or code editors often drags HTML along with your text - and it’s a mess. The Remove HTML tool fixes that in seconds. No installation, no tracking - just clean, tag-free text.
The Problem
Let’s say you copy some content from a webpage or export notes from an HTML email. You end up with a tangle of <div>, <p>, <strong>, and other tags wrapped around your actual words. Manually cleaning that up is time-consuming and error-prone.
How to Use the Remove HTML
The Remove HTML tool strips all HTML tags from your content - no exceptions. Just paste your text, click once, and you're left with pure, readable text. It runs entirely in your browser for maximum speed and privacy.
Detailed Explanation
The Remove HTML tool uses a fast, in-browser parser to strip out every HTML tag - no matter how complex. Unlike find-and-replace methods that might miss closing tags or malformed elements, this tool targets the tag structure itself. It does not preserve formatting, line breaks, or nested elements - just plain, readable text. It runs locally in your browser, so nothing gets uploaded. Want to decode HTML entities after? Try using HTML Escape. Or, if you're prepping content for analysis, chain this with Text Stats or Keyword Extractor.
