This tool is a browser-based HTML workstation with five sub-tools accessible from the left menu. Each tool handles a specific task that developers, content writers, and web designers run into regularly. There is no software to install, no account to create, and no file size limit on what you can paste in.
HTML Preview
Paste any HTML and see it rendered live as a web page. Updates as you type with a short delay so the browser does not flicker on every keystroke.
Word to HTML
A full WYSIWYG editor that converts Microsoft Word content to clean HTML. Paste from Word or upload a .docx file and copy the resulting HTML.
HTML Formatter
Takes minified or unindented HTML and rewrites it with proper indentation so it is readable and easy to debug.
HTML Minifier
Removes whitespace, line breaks, and comments from HTML to reduce file size before deploying to production.
Strip HTML Tags
Removes all HTML tags from a block of code and returns the plain text content. Useful for extracting readable text from HTML source.
The HTML Preview tool renders whatever you type or paste on the left directly inside a sandboxed frame on the right. The frame updates automatically after you stop typing so you always see an accurate render without needing to click a button. The sandbox attribute prevents scripts from accessing parent page resources, which means you can safely test third-party HTML snippets without worrying about interference.
Live preview is useful when you receive an HTML snippet from a client, a code generator, or an email template builder and you want to check how it actually looks before putting it into production. It is also helpful for testing small layout changes to see the result in isolation without launching a local dev server.
The Download .html button saves your current code as a standalone HTML file. This gives you a working file you can open in any browser, attach to an email, or drop into a project folder. The file is not processed or modified on a server. Everything happens locally in your browser using the File API.
The Word to HTML sub-tool is a full editor that runs the same conversion engine as the dedicated Word to HTML converter page. It uses a rich text editor (WYSIWYG) on the left where you can type, paste content copied from Microsoft Word, or upload a .docx file directly. The right panel shows the resulting HTML code with syntax highlighting. You can switch between the raw code view and a browser preview of the HTML output.
When you paste from Word, the browser's paste handler captures the rendered content rather than the raw XML from the clipboard. This means Microsoft-specific properties like mso-bidi-font-size and mso-fareast-font-family never make it into the output. What remains is standard HTML with semantic tags for headings, bold, italic, lists, and tables.
Click the Upload .docx button in the Word to HTML sub-tool to convert a Word document directly. The file is processed entirely in your browser using the mammoth library. No data is sent to a server. The resulting HTML is loaded into the editor where you can edit it further or copy it immediately. For granular control over which formatting to keep or strip, use the Word to HTML format converter.
Formatted HTML is easier to read, easier to debug, and easier to maintain. When HTML is minified or generated by a tool, it often comes out on a single line with no indentation. The HTML formatter takes that flat code and restructures it with consistent two-space indentation for every nested element. Block-level tags like div, p, ul, table, and heading tags all get their own lines with indentation that reflects their nesting depth.
Before making manual edits to a chunk of HTML from a CMS export, a template engine, or a compiled build, run it through the formatter first. Indented code makes it much easier to find the element you want to change, identify mismatched closing tags, and understand the document hierarchy.
Minification reduces the file size of an HTML document by collapsing whitespace, removing comments, and stripping unnecessary line breaks between tags. The minified output loads faster over the network because fewer bytes are transferred. This matters most for pages that are sent to many users simultaneously or served over slow connections.
The minifier does not modify attribute values, inline styles, or script content in a way that would change the document's behavior. It is a whitespace-only reduction tool. For a full production minification pipeline that also handles CSS and JavaScript, you would use a build tool like Vite, webpack, or a dedicated HTML minifier package.
The tag stripper removes all HTML markup from a block of code and returns the raw text content. It also handles style and script blocks which are removed entirely rather than having their content exposed as text. HTML entities like &, <, >, and are decoded to their plain-text equivalents.
All five tools on this page run entirely in your browser. No content you type, paste, or upload is transmitted to a server. The HTML preview uses a sandboxed iframe with a srcdoc attribute. The formatter, minifier, and tag stripper are pure JavaScript functions that run on your device. The Word to HTML converter uses the mammoth library loaded from a CDN to convert .docx files in the browser's memory.
This architecture means the tools work offline once the page has loaded, process content instantly regardless of server load, and never log or store your content. For related developer tools, see our CSS generator, HTML generator, and code writer.
If you are working with HTML content regularly, these tools on the site work well alongside the HTML viewer:
