Free HTML Tags Remover — Clean Plain Text in One Click
Copy-paste from the web often drags invisible HTML markup along with it. The HTML Tags Remover deletes every tag — including script and style blocks — decodes entities like & back to normal characters and collapses the leftover whitespace, leaving the clean readable text you actually wanted. Perfect for pasting into emails, forms and CMS fields.

Why Regex Alone Is Not Enough — Under the Hood
Naive tag-stripping with a regex breaks on conditional comments and script blocks containing angle brackets. This tool first removes script and style elements entirely, then strips remaining tags, and finally routes the text through the browser's own entity decoder (a detached textarea node) so &, and numeric entities resolve exactly as a browser would render them.
