Before you start
Extract written HTTP and HTTPS links from notes, logs or source text. Review the list, then copy it or download a line-by-line TXT file. The tool does not visit the links.
How to use this tool
- Choose pasted text or one UTF-8 text file, then provide content containing links.
- Choose HTTP, HTTPS or both, then optionally list allowed top-level domains and host domains. Decide whether to keep repeated links.
- Select Extract links, review the first matches, then copy or download the complete list.
Supported inputs and limits
Paste up to 1 MiB or choose one UTF-8 text file up to 10 MiB. At most 50,000 lines and 50,000 matched links are processed locally.
Only written absolute HTTP/HTTPS links are scanned. Relative HTML hrefs and links hidden behind rich text are not resolved; no link is opened or checked for reachability.

When something does not work
If no links appear, check that the selected source contains full http:// or https:// addresses. Relative paths and rich-text link targets are outside this scanner.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as a link?
The scanner finds written absolute http:// and https:// addresses. It trims common sentence punctuation and unescapes & in HTML source. Check ambiguous endings against the original text.
How do the filters work?
Protocol limits results to HTTP, HTTPS or both. TLDs are comma-separated final labels such as com,org; domains are comma-separated hosts such as example.com and include their subdomains. Leave either list blank to allow all.
Does this scan a live website or validate links?
No. It reads only the pasted text or selected file, does not fetch pages, and cannot resolve relative hrefs or verify that a URL is reachable.
Is my input sent to a server?
No. Tool input is processed in your browser, not sent to a server. Temporary workspaces stay in the same tab and are cleared by a refresh or tab closure. Save the results you need.
