FAQ

How do I remove HTML from an email?

Paste the HTML or copied email content into a plain text cleaner, remove tags, decode entities, and normalize the remaining text.

Why is copied email formatting messy?

Copied emails often contain hidden HTML, inline CSS, tracking links, non-breaking spaces, and nested layout tables.

Can I keep links when converting email to plain text?

Yes. Preserving links is useful for documentation, while removing links can make internal notes cleaner.

Will images be removed from plain text email output?

Image tags are removed, but visible alt text may remain if it was included in the source copy.
