Plain Text Converter
Paste formatted text and get back plain, unformatted text.
Paste with Ctrl+V / Cmd+V — bold, colors, fonts, links and bullet formatting will all be stripped out below, leaving just plain text.
How This Works
When you paste into the box above, your browser normally keeps all the original formatting (fonts, colors, bold/italic, bullet HTML). This tool reads back just the plain text content — no markup, no styling — so you can safely paste it into an email, a form field, or plain-text editor without carrying over mismatched fonts or hidden formatting. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded or stored.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this tool save or send my text anywhere?
No — all processing happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
Why does pasted text sometimes keep its formatting elsewhere?
Most text boxes accept "rich text" by default, which carries over the source's fonts, colors, and styles. Pasting here first, then copying the plain result, strips all of that out before it reaches its final destination.
