How to convert HTM to TXT

  1. Add your .HTM file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
  2. Convert it to .TXT in a few seconds.
  3. Download your new .TXT file.

What to expect

  • Renaming .htm to .txt saves the raw HTML source - tags included - not readable text; actual conversion strips the markup.
  • Images and CSS layout are lost entirely; link text is preserved but URLs are dropped unless you use lynx -dump, which appends them as a numbered reference list.
  • If the page loads content via JavaScript, browser copy-paste captures the rendered text; command-line tools read only the static HTML and miss content added after page load.

Frequently asked questions

I saved the HTM file as TXT in Notepad and it still shows tags - what went wrong?
Notepad saved the raw source, not the rendered text. Use browser copy-paste or our converter above to get visible text without markup.
Does `.htm` convert the same as `.html`?
Yes - .htm is the three-character DOS/Windows spelling of .html and every conversion tool treats them identically.
Will content added by JavaScript survive the conversion?
Only with browser copy-paste, which executes scripts before you copy; tools like pandoc and html2text read static HTML only and miss content added after page load.
Can I batch-convert a whole folder of HTM files to TXT?
Yes - with pandoc or html2text on the command line you can loop over all .htm files in a folder and output matching .txt files in one script.
