Plain Text Converter

Convert HTML or formatted markup into clean, readable text with the free Plain Text Converter. Paste HTML or ordinary text into the input box and get a plain-text result without HTML tags.

The converter keeps the readable text inside elements such as headings, paragraphs, links, and bold text while removing the surrounding HTML markup.

How to Convert to Plain Text

1. Paste your HTML or text into the input box.
2. The converter processes the input automatically.
3. HTML tags are removed while readable text is retained.
4. Review the plain-text result.
5. Copy the result or download it as a .txt file.

Convert HTML to Plain Text

If your input contains HTML, the converter removes the markup and returns the readable text.

For example, a heading such as <h1>Hello TextNivo</h1> becomes Hello TextNivo. Text inside links and formatting elements is retained while the HTML tags themselves are removed.

The tool also removes content from elements such as scripts and styles rather than including that code in the readable result.

Clean Up HTML and Formatted Markup

Plain text can be useful when you want readable content without HTML tags or webpage markup. The converter keeps useful text from common elements such as paragraphs, headings, links, lists, and formatting tags.

Block-level content is separated into readable lines where possible, making the result easier to copy or reuse.

What Happens to Regular Plain Text?

You can also enter text that contains no HTML. Normal letters, numbers, punctuation, and symbols remain readable in the result.

This means you don’t need to determine whether your input contains HTML before using the converter.

Why Use TextNivo’s Plain Text Converter?

The converter works directly in your browser and produces the result instantly. You can copy the converted text, download it as a .txt file, or clear the input and start again.
