Use HTML to Text

Extract readable text from HTML, decode entities and keep useful block boundaries. Start with the sample, select the options and run the tool. Copy or download the result after reviewing it.

Behavior and limits

An HTML parser reads the source without fetching resources or executing scripts. Script, style, template and noscript content is omitted. Block elements and line breaks become text breaks; the output is an approximation of reading order, not a browser layout export.

Example input

<h1>Hello &amp; welcome</h1><p>A <strong>small</strong> example.</p><script>alert(1)</script>

Expected behavior for the example

Hello & welcome A small example.
