HTML to text converter, and text to HTML
Paste HTML to read it formatted (headings, bold, lists) or as plain text. The other way round, write in the editor with headings and formatting: the tool generates clean HTML, ready to paste. Everything runs in your browser.
What an HTML to text converter does
An HTML to text converter strips the markup from a page and keeps the readable content. Here the code is parsed like a real page: scripts, styles and stray tags are removed, entities such as é or are decoded, and the structure is kept. The preview shows headings as headings, lists as lists and bold as bold: the Copy button keeps that formatting, so you can paste the content straight into Google Docs or Word. The "Plain text" view gives the 100% text version, line breaks preserved.
Text to HTML: what the tool does
Write or paste your text in the editor and structure it with the toolbar (H1 to H3 headings, bold, italic, underline, lists, quote): the generated HTML is deliberately minimal. Paragraphs, headings, strong and em tags, no inline style, no class, no span: exactly what you want to paste into a CMS without importing the soup of a word processor.
What it is for in SEO
Extracting the text of a page lets you count the words that are really visible, proofread content without the distraction of markup, or prepare a rewrite. The other way round, the editor produces healthy markup: a clean heading hierarchy and short paragraphs remain the basis of a readable page, for visitors and for Google.
