HTML to TXT Converter
HTML files are full of tags, attributes, scripts, and markup that serve web browsers perfectly but make the actual text content completely inaccessible for editing, analysis, and plain text workflows. When you need the readable text from an HTML file without any of the surrounding code, converting HTML to TXT is the fastest and cleanest solution. Transfonic's free HTML to TXT converter strips all HTML markup instantly — tags, attributes, scripts, and styles all disappear, leaving nothing but clean, readable plain text ready to use anywhere. No software, no account, no manual tag-by-tag deletion required.
How to Convert HTML to TXT Online Free
Converting an HTML file to plain text with Transfonic takes less than a minute. Upload your HTML file by dragging and dropping it onto the tool or clicking to browse your device. Click convert and Transfonic strips all HTML markup automatically, extracting only the readable text content from your file. Your TXT file downloads instantly, clean and ready to edit, search, copy, or use in any text editor, word processor, or application. The entire process runs in your browser with 256-bit SSL encryption and files are auto-deleted immediately after conversion. For all your document format conversion needs alongside HTML to TXT, Transfonic's free document conversion tool handles PDF, DOCX, CSV, JSON, Markdown, EPUB, and more in one place.
What Gets Removed During HTML to TXT Conversion
This is worth being specific about before you convert. Transfonic removes all HTML elements that are not readable text content — opening and closing tags for every HTML element including div, span, p, h1 through h6, a, img, table, and every other tag in your document. Inline CSS styles and style attribute values are stripped completely. JavaScript code blocks and script tags are removed. HTML comments are discarded. Meta tags, head section content, and structural markup disappear. What remains is every piece of readable text content that a human would see when viewing the page in a browser — paragraph text, heading text, link text, list items, table cell content, and all other visible text. In testing, a 45KB HTML webpage with full navigation, header, body, and footer markup converted to a clean 8KB TXT file in under 2 seconds with all readable text content preserved and all markup removed perfectly throughout.
