URL Extractor — Find HTTP/HTTPS URLs in Pasted Text
Extract absolute HTTP and HTTPS URLs from text or HTML. Copy the list to your clipboard or download a TXT file for review.
Find literal HTTP/HTTPS URLs. Relative links need a base URL and are skipped.
Extraction runs in browser memory; this tool does not upload the pasted text or result. The page may load analytics or advertising services under your consent settings.
Extract URL from HTML, Webpages and Source Code
Pulling web addresses out of unformatted documents, markdown files, and HTML source code can be tedious when done manually. This extractor scans pasted content for literal HTTP and HTTPS URL strings. It does not parse the HTML tree or turn relative href values into absolute URLs.
The parser cleans trailing punctuation (such as periods or commas at the ends of sentences) and removes duplicate URLs using an in-memory Set. You can copy the clean list or download it as a plain text file.
Example: collect absolute links from a note
Paste Guide: https://example.com/docs, and again https://example.com/docs. Relative: /about. Help: https://example.org/help. The output is two lines: https://example.com/docs and https://example.org/help. The duplicate is removed and /about is skipped because it has no base URL.

Supported Inputs & Output Formats
| Type | Format | Details & Handling |
|---|---|---|

Common Practical Use Cases
- HTML Link Audits: Extract absolute HTTP/HTTPS strings from page source or template files for manual review; relative links are skipped.
- Documentation & Notes: Pull embedded links out of email digests, meeting notes, or chat exports into a consolidated list.
- Content Curation: Gather external resource references and citations from article drafts and markdown files.
Important Limitations & Technical Boundaries
- Scans Pasted Text: Evaluates pasted text or HTML source only; it does not crawl live websites or make remote network requests.
- HTTP and HTTPS Protocols: Detects absolute web URLs starting with http:// or https://. Bare protocol-less domains or relative paths are not resolved.
- No Domain Filtering: Outputs all detected URLs; it does not filter by specific domain name or file extension.
- TXT Download & Copy: Delivers output via clipboard copy and plain .txt download; it does not export CSV spreadsheets.
Collect links for a content migration
Paste the exported HTML or notes, then copy the extracted links into your migration checklist. Relative URLs such as /contact/ need to be resolved against the original site separately. Use the broken link checker when you need to check a live page for broken links.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this URL extractor work?
It finds literal http:// and https:// strings in pasted text, checks whether each has a parseable URL and host, strips common sentence punctuation, and removes exact duplicates. It does not visit the destinations.
Does this tool crawl remote websites to discover links?
No. The extractor processes only the raw text or HTML source you paste into the tool. It does not fetch external web pages or spider websites.
Does it resolve relative URLs like /about or ../images/?
No. The tool detects absolute HTTP and HTTPS web addresses. It does not resolve relative path references without a protocol scheme.
Does the tool provide domain filtering or CSV export?
No. This utility focuses on fast in-browser extraction. It outputs a deduplicated plain text list with options to copy to your clipboard or download as a .txt file.
Is my pasted text or extracted URL data private?
Extraction runs in browser memory and this tool does not upload the pasted text or result. The page may still load analytics or advertising services according to your consent settings.
How do I extract URL from HTML code or webpage source?
Paste raw HTML source into the input box and click Extract URLs. The extractor matches literal http:// and https:// strings, including ones inside some attributes. It does not parse HTML elements or resolve relative links.
How does duplicate removal work?
Extracted URLs are passed through a JavaScript Set data structure so that repeated links in the source text appear only once in your output.
