The Strip HTML Tags helps you turn HTML into readable plain text and remove tags, scripts, and styles. It processes HTML fragments, full documents, copied web pages, email HTML, or local files directly in the browser and is useful for editing, SEO, documentation, development, translation, and quick text cleanup.
Typical searches include remove HTML tags, HTML to text, extract text from HTML, clean HTML. The result includes plain text with optional link targets, alt text, lists, paragraphs, and table content. The result is plain text, not sanitized HTML. If you output it as HTML again, the target application must escape it correctly.
Typical use cases
Prepare text for publishing
Clean drafts, CMS content, newsletters, product copy, blog posts, or documentation sections before processing or publishing them.
Check SEO and readability
Use word counts, structure, cleaned plain text, or frequent terms to better assess titles, descriptions, paragraphs, and keyword density.
Process sensitive text locally
Text, files, and intermediate output stay in the browser. This helps with internal notes, customer copy, logs, transcripts, or unpublished drafts.
Tips for better results
Keep the original
Copy the result to a new file or clipboard first. This lets you compare formatting, special characters, and line breaks before replacing the source.
Consider the target system
CMSs, email tools, translation systems, search engines, and code editors do not always treat whitespace, HTML, Markdown, and Unicode the same way.
Review automatic cleanup
Automatic text tools are fast, but context matters. Manually review headings, lists, tables, links, and code blocks when structure matters.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Are inputs uploaded when using Strip HTML Tags?
No. Processing runs locally in the browser. Content is not transferred to Xoricon for text analysis or cleanup.
Can the result differ from other programs?
Yes. Programs can count words, Unicode characters, HTML, Markdown, whitespace, and line breaks differently.
Is the tool suitable for very large files?
Many text files work well, but very large files can stress browser memory and worker runtime. For bulk data, specialized local scripts are often better.
