This is a quick, simple, and satisfying tool designed for web developers and programmers to convert text with messy formatting and/or HTML tags into clean, attractive text.

Why clean text?

This service is very useful for those who want to save a lot of time cleaning up text full of HTML tags and messy formatting. If you find this tool helpful, please share this website on your social networks.

How to use this tool?

This page uses a series of functions and some custom code to remove HTML and messy formatting. You just need to paste the text and click the button! Due to different applications and WYSIWYG editors using various tags and custom formatting, the HTML cleaning function may not be 100% perfect, but it should still be very useful.

Any problems?

None at all. Using this service to clear HTML from text is completely free. I hope to make daily work easier for those dealing with web pages, text, and HTML.

Technical Details

Unfortunately, using JavaScript's innerText property to remove HTML tags didn't work as well as I had hoped, so I had to use some regular expressions to get the text output I wanted. The biggest problem with using innerText to remove HTML tags is that it removes script tags but keeps the content between the opening and closing script tags in the text content. It does the same with style tags in cases where page style rules might be encountered. Although optional, I also added a regular expression to improve the readability of the output by removing excess multi-line line breaks. This just makes the output format more readable.

Suggestion

Anyway, if none of these are issues, then I suggest using the innerText property to remove html tags from page content. Otherwise, you'll need to use some regular expressions to remove HTML tags.

I've used many similar services but couldn't find a decent HTML cleaning tool, so I made one myself. Oh, and I put some ads on the website, hoping to earn a dollar now and then.
