About converting HTML to Text
Both formats describe a document the same way — paragraphs, styles, headings, tables — so this is a rewrite rather than a picture of the result. Headings stay headings and the text stays editable. Elaborate layouts, floating text boxes and heavy use of columns are where the two formats stop agreeing, and they are worth a glance afterwards.
How to convert HTML to Text
Add your HTML file
Drag it onto the box above, click to browse, or paste it straight from your clipboard.
Check the settings
Text is already selected. The defaults suit most files, and you can open Settings if you want to change the quality or size.
Download the Text
Most files are ready in a second or two. Larger ones convert in the background while you watch the progress.
Quality
This one is an approximation, not an exact copy — the two formats describe content in genuinely different ways. It works well on straightforward files and needs checking on complex ones. We would rather say so here than have you find out afterwards.
