Paste plain text — with blank lines separating paragraphs, the way you'd naturally write an email — and get back clean HTML with proper paragraph tags and automatically clickable links, ready to drop into a template or send platform that expects HTML.
Plain text uses line breaks and blank lines to signal paragraph structure, but HTML has no inherent concept of that — a plain-text email pasted directly into an HTML template editor often collapses onto a single unbroken line, since browsers and HTML renderers ignore plain whitespace and line breaks unless they're wrapped in proper tags. This tool bridges that gap: it looks for blank lines in your input to detect paragraph breaks, wraps each paragraph in a properly styled <p> tag, and converts any single line breaks within a paragraph into <br> tags so the structure you intended is preserved.
It also automatically detects plain URLs in your text (anything starting with http:// or https://) and wraps them in clickable <a> tags, since a bare URL pasted into HTML doesn't become a link on its own — a small step that's easy to forget when hand-converting text. Both conversions happen together in a single pass, so a paragraph containing a mix of prose and a plain URL comes out correctly structured and fully clickable without any additional manual cleanup on your part.
This comes up whenever you've drafted an email's copy as plain text — in a notes app, a plain-text editor, or copied from a document — but need to drop that copy into an HTML-based tool: a section of the Newsletter Template Generator, a custom HTML block in your email service provider, or a signature or template that expects properly tagged markup rather than raw text.
It looks for a blank line (two line breaks in a row) in your pasted text, the same convention used when writing plain-text email — so simply leaving an empty line between paragraphs, the way you naturally would, is all that's needed.
A single line break that isn't part of a full blank-line paragraph break is converted to a <br> tag, preserving line breaks like a short signature block or an address without treating each line as its own paragraph.
Yes — any plain URL starting with http:// or https:// is automatically wrapped in a clickable link tag as part of the conversion, so recipients can click through without you needing to manually add HTML link tags.
No — it outputs just the inner content markup (paragraph tags and styling), meant to be dropped into an existing template or email body, not a full standalone HTML document with head and body tags.
No — the conversion runs entirely in JavaScript in your browser as you type, and nothing is sent to a server.
