Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool remove scripts and styles?
Yes, this tool removes all HTML tags, including script and style tags. However, the text content inside those tags will remain unless you manually delete it. The tool focuses on removing the markup syntax < >.
What happens to HTML entities like &?
By default, the 'Decode HTML Entities' option is enabled. This converts entities like & into '&', < into '<', and into actual spaces, making the output readable plain text.
Will the text layout be preserved?
The tool removes block-level tags like <div> and <p>. If you enable 'Replace with Space', it inserts a space where tags were removed to prevent words from merging. Line breaks are removed by default to create a continuous text flow.
Is this tool safe for sensitive code?
Yes. All processing is done locally in your browser. No HTML code is sent to a server, ensuring your proprietary code or sensitive data remains private.
