What is Strip HTML?
Strip HTML tags out of any text to get clean, plain text. Paste HTML and the tool removes all tags (and script/style blocks), converts block elements to line breaks, and can decode HTML entities. Useful for cleaning pasted content and extracting readable text.
How Strip HTML works
The tool removes <script> and <style> blocks, converts block-level closing tags to newlines, then strips remaining tags with a regular expression. Optionally it decodes entities like & back to &.
