Free URL Extractor — Pull All Links from Any Text or HTML Instantly

What Is a URL Extractor?

A URL extractor is an online tool that automatically finds and pulls all HTTP and HTTPS links from any block of text, HTML code, or document content. Instead of manually scanning through paragraphs of text to find links, this tool identifies every URL in seconds.

Simply paste your content — whether it's raw text, HTML source code, email content, or log files — and get a clean, deduplicated list of every URL found.

Why URL Extraction Matters

• SEO audits — Extract all outbound and internal links from page content to analyze link profiles
• Content migration — Pull all URLs from old CMS content before migrating to a new platform
• Competitor research — Extract links from competitor pages to discover their backlink sources and resource references
• Broken link detection — Collect all URLs from a page, then check each one for 404 errors
• Data mining — Extract reference URLs from research papers, documentation, or reports

How URL Extraction Works

Pattern Matching

The tool uses regular expression patterns to identify strings that match URL structures — including http://, https://, and www. prefixes — regardless of surrounding text or formatting.

HTML Parsing

When processing HTML content, the extractor identifies URLs within href attributes, src attributes, and inline references, capturing links that simple text scanning might miss.

Deduplication

Duplicate URLs are automatically removed from the output, giving you a clean list of unique links.

How to Use the URL Extractor

1. Paste your text, HTML, or document content into the input area
2. Click Extract to process the content

Common Use Cases

• SEO professionals auditing internal linking structures across content
• Web developers extracting asset URLs from HTML templates

Best Practices

• Use HTML source code (View Source) rather than rendered text for more complete URL extraction
• After extracting URLs, run them through a redirect checker to verify each link's status
• For large-scale extraction across entire websites, consider pairing this tool with a web crawler
• Always review extracted URLs before using them in bulk operations — false positives can occur with URL-like strings
