FAQs
Are scripts and styles included in the output?
Only text content is extracted. Script and style contents are treated as markup and removed along with the tags.
Does it keep line breaks?
Yes — paragraphs, headings, list items and other block elements each start a new line, so the text stays readable.
What happens to HTML entities?
They are decoded to their characters — for example, & becomes & and becomes a space.
Is my HTML sent anywhere?
No. The conversion runs entirely in your browser and never transmits or saves your markup.
