What does the 'Strip query parameters' feature do?

Web links often contain messy tracking codes at the end (e.g., '?utm_source=google'). Enabling this feature automatically deletes everything after the question mark, leaving you with clean, canonical URLs.

Best Free Online URL Extractor Tool

Welcome to the ultimate URL Extractor. Scraping through massive blocks of raw data, messy text documents, or sloppy HTML code to find active web links is incredibly tedious. Our browser-based extraction utility uses advanced Regular Expressions (Regex) to instantly scan your text, identify valid domain names and URLs, and compile them into a clean, easy-to-use list.

How to Extract URLs from Text Online

We engineered this string manipulation tool to process data dynamically in real-time. As you paste or type your data, the extracted list updates instantly:

Insert your Raw Data: Paste your block of unformatted text, code snippet, or scraped document content directly into the "Raw Text Input" text box.
Configure Extraction Rules: Ensure "Extract unique URLs only" is checked to automatically filter out repeating links. You can also toggle alphabetical sorting or choose to strip tracking parameters.
Format the Output: Choose how you want the extracted links separated. You can list them one per line, or separate them with commas for easy spreadsheet importing.
Export the Clean List: Click "Copy All" to send the perfectly sanitized list to your clipboard, or click the download icon to save it locally as a .TXT file.

Practical Uses & Advanced Features

Strip Query Parameters: Many scraped URLs contain messy tracking codes at the end (e.g., ?utm_source=google). Enabling this feature automatically deletes everything after the question mark, leaving you with clean, canonical base URLs.
Intelligent Deduplication: Scraping HTML often results in pulling the same link dozens of times. The unique filter ensures your final list only contains one instance of each domain.
100% Client-Side Privacy: Your data is completely secure. This tool never sends your pasted text or the extracted URLs to any server. Everything is parsed strictly within your device's browser memory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my data sent to a server for URL extraction?

No, absolutely not. This URL extractor operates completely locally within your web browser using JavaScript. No text, raw data, or extracted domains are ever transmitted over the internet or sent to external databases.

Can it extract links directly from HTML code?

Yes. You can paste raw HTML source code into the tool, and the Regex engine will instantly parse and extract all fully qualified URLs hidden inside href attributes, image tags, or plain text strings.

Can I export the extracted URLs to Excel or CSV?

Yes. Change the 'Output Separator' setting to 'Comma separated (,)'. When you copy or download the resulting text, it will function as a CSV format that easily pastes into Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets.
