Frequently Asked Questions
Can malicious HTML harm my browser?
No. The HTML is parsed by DOMParser into an isolated document that is never attached to the live page, so scripts cannot execute and layout cannot be affected.
Does this preserve whitespace and line breaks?
Block-level elements (p, div, h1-h6, li) are converted to newlines. Inline elements like span and strong are stripped, leaving their text content.
Can I use this to clean up copied web content?
Yes. Paste copied web content (which often contains HTML tags) and this tool returns just the readable text.
