Extract URLs from Text

Find every link in a block of text, HTML source or chat log and list them out. Include bare www. links, remove duplicates, sort them and copy the list. A free link extractor that runs in your browser with nothing uploaded.

This tool extracts URLs from any text you paste. It finds links that start with http or https, and optionally bare www. addresses too, then lists each one so you do not have to comb through the source by hand. Trailing punctuation, such as a full stop or a closing bracket that sat next to a link, is trimmed off so the URLs are clean and clickable. You can remove duplicates, sort the list alphabetically, and choose the separator. It is useful for auditing links on a page, collecting sources, or pulling addresses out of a log.

Frequently asked questions

Does it find links without http:// in front?
By default it also catches bare www. links, like www.example.com, which are common in plain text. You can turn that off to match only full http and https URLs. Links written without either prefix, such as example.com on its own, are not matched, because too much ordinary text would look like a domain.
Why are trailing dots and brackets removed?
When a link sits at the end of a sentence or inside brackets, the punctuation often gets swept up with it. The tool trims trailing dots, commas, brackets and similar characters so the URL you copy actually works, rather than 404-ing on a stray full stop.
Can it pull links out of HTML source?
Yes. Paste raw HTML and it finds the URLs inside href and src attributes along with any in the visible text. If you want the readable text instead of the links, the strip HTML tags tool is the better fit.
