Stripping HTML is the developer's everyday verb: turn marked-up content into plain text, or into safer, simpler markup. This tool strips HTML tags from pasted code with control, remove everything, or keep an allowed list such as links and emphasis, while the text content passes through untouched.
How to use this tool
  • Paste the HTML.
  • Choose strip-all, or list the tags to keep (for example a, strong, em).
  • Strip and copy the result.
User comments, imported articles and scraped pages all carry markup nobody ordered: scripts, styles, layout tables, tracking cruft. Stripping is how that material becomes safe and usable, and the keep-list is the professional touch, because links and emphasis are content, while the rest is container.

                                    Can I keep links while stripping everything else?
                                    
Yes, put "a" in the allowed list and anchors survive with their URLs while every other tag is removed; the same works for bold, italic and headings.

                                

                                                            

                                    Does it remove script and style content too?
                                    
Tag stripping removes the tags; the contents of script and style blocks are also removed by this tool since they are code, not text.

                                

                                                            

                                    How is this different from Remove HTML Tags?
                                    
Remove HTML Tags focuses on complete removal for readers; Strip HTML Tags is the finer, developer-flavoured pass with an allowed-tags list and code-safe output.
