Frequently Asked Questions

What does the HTML tag stripper do?

The HTML tag stripper removes all HTML tags from your content while preserving the plain text. It strips opening and closing tags, attributes, scripts, styles, and comments, leaving only the readable text content. This is useful for converting HTML to plain text, cleaning up content for databases, or preparing text for analysis. You can customize what gets removed with various options.

How do I use the HTML stripper tool?

To strip HTML tags: 1) Paste your HTML content into the input field or upload an HTML file, 2) Optionally configure stripping options (remove scripts, styles, comments, etc.), 3) Click 'Strip HTML' to process, 4) View the cleaned plain text in the output area. You can then copy the result to your clipboard or download it as a text file.

Can I preserve line breaks when stripping HTML?

Yes! Enable the 'Preserve Line Breaks' option to maintain the line structure of your content. This keeps paragraph breaks and newlines intact while removing HTML tags. If disabled, all content will be compressed into a single continuous text block. This is useful when you want to maintain the readability and structure of the original content.

What's the difference between removing tags and attributes?

This tool removes complete HTML tags including both the tags themselves and their attributes. For example, '<div class="example" id="test">Text</div>' becomes just 'Text'. All formatting, styling, links, and structural elements are stripped away, leaving only the text content that would be visible to users.

Is HTML stripping secure and safe?

Yes! All HTML processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Your HTML content is never uploaded to our servers or transmitted anywhere. The tool runs entirely client-side for complete privacy and security. This makes it safe to process sensitive or confidential HTML content.

Can I strip HTML from multiple files or batch process?

Currently, the tool processes one HTML document at a time. However, you can quickly process multiple files by uploading them one by one using the 'Upload' button. For each file, configure your desired options, strip the HTML, and download the result before moving to the next file.

How do I download the stripped text?

After stripping HTML tags, click the 'Download' button next to the output field. This will save the cleaned plain text as a .txt file to your computer. You can also use the 'Copy' button to copy the text to your clipboard for pasting into other applications.

Is the HTML stripping process safe for my data?

Absolutely! The tool processes everything locally in your browser without any server communication. Your HTML content never leaves your device. After stripping tags, you get clean plain text that's safe to use in any application. The tool removes potentially harmful scripts and code automatically.
