Pasting content from a web page, email, or word processor often drags along invisible HTML tags and entity codes like or & that clutter plain-text destinations such as code editors, CMS fields, or SMS messages. This tool strips every HTML tag, decodes the most common entities back into normal characters, collapses runs of horizontal whitespace, and trims excess blank lines — leaving readable plain text with the original line structure intact. It's a quick way to clean up copy-pasted content before dropping it somewhere that doesn't render markup.
It converts the most common entities you'll actually run into from copy-pasted content: becomes a regular space, & becomes &, and < / > become < and >. All HTML tags themselves are removed entirely.
Line breaks in the source are kept, and runs of three or more blank lines are collapsed down to a single blank line, so the output stays readable without huge gaps.
Tag contents inside <script> or <style> blocks are text between tags, so the tags are stripped but their inner code is treated as plain text and kept — for fully sanitizing scripts, remove those sections manually before converting.
Paste something copied from a web page or an email and the tool strips the tags and entities, leaving just the words. What goes in as markup comes out as ordinary text.
It's the fix for the usual mess: a snippet of HTML full of angle brackets, a copied article with leftover formatting codes, an email template you need to read without the styling. Entities like & are turned back into the characters they stand for.
Nothing is uploaded, so it's fine to use on drafts and internal notes. The result is a block of text you can copy into any editor without formatting surprises.
<p>Hello <b>world</b> & friends</p>
Hello world & friends
Only the tags are removed. Text sitting inside a script or style block stays in the result, so skim it if you pasted a whole page.
