Strip HTML Tags Online

Updated 2026-07-09

Strip HTML tags from text online for free. Paste any markup and SnapTools removes every tag, leaving just the readable text content — instantly, in your browser. Nothing you paste is uploaded.

Copying from a web page or HTML email drags along a tangle of tags you rarely want. This tool discards all of that markup and keeps only the visible text, giving you clean content for a word count, an analysis, or a plain-text field. Because it removes every tag, script and style markup goes too. If the text still contains entities like &, finish with the HTML Decode tool.

// how to use

1 Paste HTML into the input panel on the left.
2 SnapTools removes all tags and leaves the readable text content as you type.
3 Read the plain text on the right, then copy or download it.

Extracting plain text from an HTML snippet or email Cleaning markup out of copied web content Getting readable text for word counts or analysis Reducing arbitrary HTML to inert text

// faq

No. Stripping runs entirely in your browser, so nothing you paste leaves your machine.

It removes the tags themselves — the angle-bracket markup — while keeping the visible text between them, so you are left with clean, readable content.

Its job is removing tags. To convert entities such as & or < back to their characters, run the result through the HTML Decode tool.

Because it discards all tags and keeps only text, script and style markup is removed too. It is a quick way to reduce arbitrary HTML to inert plain text.

Tags are stripped, so opening and closing script or style tags are removed. Review the output if the source contained inline code you did not expect as text.
