Email HTML to Plain-Text Converter

Email HTML to Plain-Text Converter strips away markup and styling to produce a clean, readable plain-text version of your email. Paste any newsletter or campaign HTML and get a text rendition that keeps the structure that matters — headings, bullet lists, links, and image alt text — while removing scripts, styles, and layout tables.

A plain-text version is a deliverability best practice: it satisfies spam filters, loads instantly, and reaches subscribers who block HTML or use screen readers. This converter formats the output like a good email copywriter would — wrapped at a safe line width, with real bullets, numbered lists, and links shown as text (url).

• Visible-text extraction: Strips the head, scripts, styles, and layout markup, leaving only the message content.
• Link-aware output: Keep links as "text (url)" so recipients can still click through, or strip URLs entirely.
• List conversion: Bullet lists become * or - bullets, and ordered lists become 1. 2. 3.
• Heading markers: Optional == heading == markers make the text version scannable.
• Image alt text: Images with alt text are kept in brackets, so image-only content is not lost.
• Smart table handling: Table rows are flattened into readable lines joined with " | ".
• Email-safe wrapping: Automatically wrap lines at 72 characters (or your chosen width) so nothing is truncated in clients.
• Live stats: Lines, words, and characters update as you convert.
• Download .txt: Copy or download the result and attach it as the plain-text part of your campaign.

1. Paste your email HTML into the editor, or click Load Sample to see the converter in action.
2. Choose your formatting options: keep link URLs, show image alt text, mark headings, pick a bullet style, and set the wrap width.
3. Click Convert to Plain Text and review the stats and any warnings.
4. Read through the output — this is the text your subscribers see if HTML is blocked.
5. Copy or download the .txt file and upload it as the plain-text part of your campaign.

Example 1: A promotional newsletter with a heading, a paragraph, a two-item bullet list, a "Shop now" link, and a footer. The converter outputs the heading marked with ==, the list as bullets, the link as "Shop now (https://acme.com/shop)", and the footer lines — all wrapped at 72 characters.

Example 2: A newsletter built on a table layout with a hero image (alt "Spring sale"), a numbered list, and an unsubscribe link in the footer. The output drops the tables, keeps the alt text in brackets, numbers the list items, and shows the unsubscribe link as "text (url)".

• Better deliverability: A text part is a strong signal to spam filters and helps Gmail and Outlook accept your mail.
• Reach every inbox: Subscribers with HTML off, low bandwidth, or screen readers still get your full message.
• Faster to produce: No more copying text out of a rendered email — convert the HTML you already have.
• Consistent formatting: Real bullets, numbered lists, and safe line widths make the text version look intentional.
• 100% free and private: No sign-up, no upload, everything runs locally in your browser.
