I found HTML Tag Remover while looking for free online strip HTML tags, and the real issue was that manual text formatting, dedupe, and case cleanup is slow. Strip all tags and entity decoding are on the same page, so I can paste text and generate cleaned output without stitching several tools together.
What this tool does
- Removes all HTML/XML tags from input text
- Optionally preserves block-level line breaks (br, p, div, h1-h6, li, tr)
- Decodes common HTML entities (&, <, , ", numeric entities)
- Collapses multiple spaces/newlines into single spaces
- "Keep tags" lets you whitelist tags to preserve (e.g. b,i,strong for inline formatting)
Use cases
- Extract clean text from scraped web pages
- Clean up rich text editor output for plain-text use
- Prepare content for email or SMS
- Migrate content between CMSs without HTML clutter
