How to use

  1. Paste text or HTML.
  2. Choose whether to keep duplicates or list domains only.
  3. Copy the links.

How it works

Links starting with http://, https:// or www. are detected. Characters that can't appear in a URL (spaces, quotes, angle brackets) end the match, and punctuation that usually ends a sentence — a trailing full stop, comma or closing parenthesis — is trimmed.

“Domains only” parses each link with the browser's URL parser and keeps the host name.

Examples

HTML source
From <a href="https://example.com/page?id=2">… the tool extracts https://example.com/page?id=2.

Common uses

  • Auditing links in a newsletter or document

Frequently asked questions

Are relative links like /about extracted?

No. Only absolute links (with http(s):// or www.) are extracted, because relative links have no meaning outside their page.

Are links in HTML attributes found?

Yes, as long as they are absolute URLs.
