Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the HTML to Text Converter.
What does an HTML to text converter do?
It removes all HTML tags, scripts and styles, and keeps only the visible text. Block elements like paragraphs and headings become line breaks, so the result stays readable.
Will it keep links?
By default, link text is kept and the URL is removed. Tick Show link URLs to add the address in brackets after each link.
Is it safe to paste HTML with scripts?
Yes. The HTML is parsed as an inert document, and scripts are removed before the text is extracted, so nothing from your HTML ever runs.
Why would I need a plain text version of an email?
Many email clients and spam filters look for a plain text part alongside the HTML version. Including one improves deliverability and helps people using text only email apps.
