HTML Cleaner

Clean messy HTML in your browser. Paste markup that has extra spaces, blank lines, or unwanted comments and get a tidier result back. Optionally strip every tag to extract the plain text from a page or email template.

Cleaning options

• Remove HTML comments – strips <!-- ... --> blocks (including multi-line) so the output stays focused on visible markup.
• Collapse repeated spaces – squashes runs of spaces or tabs to a single space without touching newlines.
• Collapse blank lines – keeps at most one empty line between blocks instead of three or four.
• Trim trailing whitespace – removes spaces and tabs at the end of every line.
• Remove all blank lines – flattens the result to a continuous block of non-empty lines.
• Strip HTML tags – removes every element to leave plain text. HTML entities such as   and & are decoded automatically.

When to use HTML Cleaner

• Pasting copy from CMS exports or rich-text editors that smuggle stray whitespace.
• Pulling plain text out of email templates to feed search indexes or analytics.
• Tidying scraped HTML before diffing or storing it in source control.
• Quickly checking what an article would look like with tags removed for word-count or readability tools.

How it differs from a minifier

An HTML minifier removes every avoidable byte (including whitespace inside tags and around text) so machines load it faster. The cleaner keeps the document human-readable: indentation between blocks remains, but repeated whitespace and noise go away. Pick the cleaner when you still want to read the result, and a minifier when you want to ship the smallest payload.
