Frequently Asked Questions
Does the converter preserve line breaks?▼
Yes, the converter intelligently preserves the logical structure of the HTML. Block-level elements like <p>, <div>, <br>, headings, and list items are converted to line breaks. Inline elements like <span>, <strong>, and <a> are removed without adding breaks.
Are HTML entities decoded?▼
Yes, common HTML entities like & (→ &), < (→ <), > (→ >), " (→ "), ' (→ '), (→ space), and numeric entities are all decoded to their text equivalents.
Is this tool safe for sensitive content?▼
Yes, all processing happens entirely in your browser. No data is sent to any server. Your HTML content never leaves your device, making it safe for sensitive or confidential content.
Can I strip only certain HTML tags?▼
This tool strips all HTML tags to produce plain text. If you need selective tag removal (keeping some tags while removing others), you would need an HTML sanitizer tool instead. This tool is designed for complete tag removal.
