  • Compiling a source list from a research article or long report full of inline citations

  • Collecting external links mentioned across a batch of pasted articles or emails

Free and private. Everything runs on your own device, with no account and no uploads.

Researchers compiling a list of sources, and developers auditing links inside an HTML export, both need a fast way to pull every link out of a large block of content. This tool scans pasted text or HTML source for URLs and hyperlinks and lists them all, saving you from manually scrolling through the content looking for http and https references.

Yes, since the extraction is regex-based on the URL pattern itself, it finds links whether they appear in href attributes or as plain text.

The tool generally deduplicates the results so each unique URL appears once.

It primarily matches URLs that include a recognizable scheme like http:// or https://; bare domains without a protocol may not be matched.

Yes, there is no artificial limit, performance depends on your browser and device.

Pro tips
  • ·Paste raw HTML if you need links from href attributes, the extractor matches the URL pattern itself regardless of markup.
  • ·Bare domains without http:// or https:// will not be picked up, so check your source text if you expect protocol-less links.
  • ·The output is deduplicated, so run it directly into a spreadsheet without a separate cleanup pass.
