HTML to TXT Converter

Summary

This tool uses your browser's built-in DOM parser to extract readable plain text from any HTML snippet or full document. Paste your HTML into the left panel, click Convert, and the right panel shows clean text with natural line breaks. You can then copy the output or download it as a .txt file. Everything runs client-side — no data ever leaves your device.

How it works

1. Paste or type your HTML into the input text area on the left.
2. Click "Convert to TXT" — the browser parses the markup using a hidden DOM node.
3. innerText is read from the parsed node, preserving natural whitespace and line breaks.
4. The extracted plain text appears in the output panel on the right.
5. Click "Copy Text" to copy to clipboard, or "Download .txt" to save the file.
