Frequently Asked Questions

Does the HTML to Text Converter work on full webpage source code?

Yes. Paste the complete page source — including `<html>`, `<head>`, and `<body>` sections — and the converter strips all tags. Note that `<script>` and `<style>` block contents will appear as text, so delete those sections manually before pasting if you only want visible body copy.

Are HTML entities like &amp;amp; and &amp;nbsp; decoded in the output?

Yes. The converter decodes standard named entities such as `&amp;`, `&lt;`, `&gt;`, `&nbsp;`, `&quot;`, and numeric entities like `&#160;` into their actual Unicode characters, so the output reads as natural text rather than raw HTML escape codes.

Will the paragraph structure of my content be preserved?

Block-level elements — `<p>`, `<div>`, `<h1>`–`<h6>`, `<li>`, `<br>` — are converted to newlines, so natural paragraph breaks are retained. Inline elements like `<strong>`, `<em>`, and `<a>` are removed entirely, merging their text content into the surrounding flow.

Is my HTML content uploaded to any server?

No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using JavaScript. No data is sent to any server, logged, or stored. You can safely paste confidential source code, internal templates, or private content — it never leaves your device.

What is the maximum size of HTML I can convert?

There is no hard limit imposed by the tool itself. Practical limits depend on your browser's available memory. Most modern browsers handle HTML files up to several megabytes without issue. For very large files (10 MB+), a command-line tool like `html2text` or `pandoc` will be faster and more reliable.
