What this tool does

Stripping HTML reveals the actual readable content search engines and accessibility tools see. Useful for word counts, plagiarism checks, and previewing email text versions.

How to use it

  1. 1

    Paste HTML code or rich text markup.

  2. 2

    View the extracted plain text and character counts.

  3. 3

    Copy clean text for analysis or repurposing.

When to strip HTML

Compare rendered text length to HTML source length — bloated markup with little text may signal thin content.

Plain text exports feed NLP tools, summarizers, and keyword analyzers that reject HTML.

Tips

  • Hidden CSS content still appears in HTML — remove display:none blocks before auditing.
  • Pair with word counter and keyword density for content audits.
