Your text is processed in this browser and is not uploaded or saved as clipboard history.
Rich text often brings fonts, styling and spacing along when you only want the words. This plain text converter strips common HTML and Markdown markers and shows a readable result before you copy.
Paste text or markup you already have access to. The input is handled as data in your browser; embedded markup is never executed.
How to use this tool
- Paste rich text, HTML or formatted text into Input.
- Choose Plain Text; common tags, links and Markdown markers are removed while readable text is kept.
- Review the output, then copy or download it.
What plain text conversion removes
The converter removes common HTML tags, inline presentation, Markdown emphasis, headings and link syntax while keeping visible words. It is designed for everyday copied content, not as a full HTML or Markdown document converter.
When to use plain text
Plain text is useful when pasting into a form, email, code comment or editor that should apply its own styles. Always review the preview, especially for complex tables, nested lists or unusual markup.
Frequently asked questions
Does it execute pasted HTML?
No. Pasted markup is parsed as inert data and the displayed result is rendered as text.
Will it preserve images and layout?
No. Plain text keeps readable words, not images, visual styling or complex page layout.
