Notes

How it parses

Uses DOMParser textContent in the browser; falls back to tag stripping without DOM. Script and style tags are skipped.

Turn HTML snippets into plain text for RAG ingestion, prompts, or LLM input. Local DOM parsing, never uploaded.

Quick start

  1. Paste HTML

    Full pages or article fragments work.

  2. Copy text

    Extra whitespace collapses to single spaces.

Use cases

Scraped content cleanup, email HTML stripping, pre-chunk document prep.

Features and use cases

Strip HTML to plain text while preserving paragraph breaks for search, summaries, or LLM input.

Use when archiving emails, cleaning scrapes, post-processing rich text, or pre-RAG ingestion.

Typical Workflow

To extract webpage content, simply paste HTML code or enter a URL. The tool automatically strips non-content elements like styles and scripts, preserving core text like headings and paragraphs. The processed plain text can be copied directly or stored in a vector database as RAG data.

Developers can use the API for batch HTML processing. For example, in crawler projects, fetch webpage HTML first, then clean it with this tool before database storage. All processing happens locally, ideal for GDPR compliance or sensitive data scrubbing.

FAQ

Keep line breaks?

Whitespace is collapsed; use Markdown tools if you need structure.

Why does processed text contain extra blank lines?

This preserves original HTML paragraph spacing. For compact text, replace `\n{2,}` with single line breaks using regex. The tool prioritizes visual layout retention as whitespace often carries semantic meaning.
