HTML ↔ Text Converter

Why convert between HTML and text?

Web content lives in two worlds. Browsers render HTML — markup full of tags like <p>, <a> and <img>. But emails, plain-text editors, AI prompts, search engines and accessibility tools usually want clean text with all those tags stripped away. Going the other direction is equally common: you've written a blog post in a notepad and now need it wrapped in real HTML paragraphs and line breaks before publishing.

Our HTML to Text & Text to HTML Converter handles both. The HTML→Text mode removes every tag, decodes common entities ( , &,<) and preserves natural paragraph breaks. The Text→HTML mode escapes special characters so your content is XSS-safe and wraps each block in <p>tags with proper <br /> line breaks. Everything happens in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

Common use cases

• Cleaning scraped HTML before feeding it into ChatGPT or Claude.
• Pasting blog drafts from Word into a CMS without messy formatting.
• Preparing plain-text versions of marketing emails for spam compliance.
• Counting actual words in a page (combine with our Word Counter).
• Escaping snippets for inclusion in JSON or YAML.

Tips for clean conversions

• HTML→Text removes <script> and <style> blocks entirely.
• Block elements (<p>, <div>) become double line breaks.
• For Markdown output instead, try our Markdown Preview.
• Always re-check the output if your source contains unusual entities.
