Free URL Extractor Online
Paste text or HTML to extract HTTP and HTTPS URLs instantly. Remove duplicates, copy the results, or download a clean text list with ToolJiffy.
All URL extraction runs locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your pasted content, document fragments, and extracted web links are never sent to any external server.
Extract Web Links from Text and HTML Source Code
Pulling web addresses out of unformatted documents, markdown files, and HTML source code can be tedious when done manually. ToolJiffy’s Free URL Extractor Online provides a fast, browser-based solution that parses pasted content and isolates all absolute HTTP and HTTPS web addresses.
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.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this URL extractor work?
It evaluates pasted text or HTML source in your browser using regular expressions to identify complete http:// and https:// web addresses, strips trailing punctuation, and filters out duplicates.
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?
Yes. All parsing and extraction execute entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your text and links are never sent to a server or stored remotely.
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.
