Extract plain text

Source stays in this tab. Parser input is capped at 500 KiB; sanitizing uses 256 KiB.

Plain text

Every result is inert, copyable source or data, never live DOM.

What this tool does

Explicit-mode, bounded, local parsing

Plain-text extraction preserves readable content, not CSS layout, accessible-name computation, or browser rendering. Scripts, styles, and template contents are ignored.

Text extraction does not render

Plain-text extraction preserves readable content, not CSS layout, accessible-name computation, or browser rendering. Scripts, styles, and template contents are ignored.

The parser runs locally with a 500 KiB input cap, 100,000-node and 100-level tree limits, and a 1 MiB output cap. It never fetches URLs, loads resources, uploads source, or saves a preset.

Explicit document and fragment modes

Document mode applies the HTML document parser and may supply implied html, head, or body structure. Fragment mode parses only a pasted fragment. The selected mode is part of the result and is never inferred from the text.
