URL Extractor from Text: Pull Every Link Out of Any Text
Paste any text and get a clean list of every URL it contains, automatically deduplicated.
Quick answer
A URL extractor scans pasted text and returns only the links it contains — unlike a web scraper, it never visits or downloads the pages, so nothing leaves your browser.
- Cost: free, no signup or limits.
- Privacy: runs 100% in your browser; text is never uploaded.
- Works on: desktop and mobile browsers, offline once loaded.

- 2.Every link is auto-detected and deduplicated.
- 3.Copy the clean list of URLs.
What counts as a link
The extractor matches absolute http:// and https:// URLs plus bare www. hosts, keeping query strings, anchors and ports intact. Trailing punctuation such as a full stop or closing bracket is trimmed, and duplicates are collapsed so a link repeated across a long email thread appears once.
Common uses
Pull every link out of a newsletter or email export, harvest URLs from copied HTML source before an audit, collect citation links from a research doc, or build a redirect map from a pasted crawl report. Pair it with the duplicate-line remover and sorter to turn the raw output into a tidy, alphabetised list.
