Frequently asked questions
Does this tool upload or store my text?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you paste is sent to a server, logged, or stored, so it is safe for private or sensitive content.
How does the HTML tag stripping work?
It removes anything wrapped in angle brackets — the tags and their attributes — along with HTML comments and the contents of script and style blocks. Escaped characters are then decoded back to normal text, so the result reads naturally.
Will it remove inline styles, classes, and attributes?
Yes. Because whole tags are removed, any inline style, class, id, or other attribute inside a tag disappears with it. You are left with unstyled plain text you can safely paste anywhere.
Does it decode entities like and &?
It does. After the tags are gone, escaped entities are converted to their real characters — & becomes an ampersand and becomes a normal space — so the output reads naturally.
Can I paste an entire web page's source code?
Yes. Paste raw page source or a copied rich-text block. Tags, HTML comments, and the contents of script and style blocks are all removed automatically, so you get just the readable text.
