The HTML to Text Converter is a powerful tool that extracts clean, readable text from HTML code by intelligently removing tags while preserving the document's structure and meaning. Unlike simple tag strippers, this tool understands HTML semantics and converts elements like headings, lists, and paragraphs into well-formatted plain text that maintains readability.
With advanced processing options, you can control exactly how HTML is converted. Preserve line breaks and paragraph spacing to maintain document flow, convert lists to bullet points or numbered items, transform headings into Markdown-style markers (# for H1, ## for H2, etc.), show link URLs in brackets, and automatically decode HTML entities like , &, and < into their actual characters.
The tool automatically removes scripts, styles, and HTML comments that would clutter the output, and provides options to trim whitespace and remove extra blank lines for cleaner results. Perfect for extracting content from web pages, converting HTML emails to plain text, preparing content for analysis, or creating readable versions of HTML documents. All processing happens locally in your browser for complete privacy.
