Extract URLs
Paste any text and pull out every http/https URL — validated, deduplicated, optionally split into scheme, host, path, query and fragment. Runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
About this tool
Extract URLs scans a block of text and pulls out every http/https URL it contains — validated, deduplicated, and in first-seen order. Tick Split into components to also break each URL into its scheme, host, port, path, query, and fragment.
- Validated: candidates are parsed by a real URL parser, so malformed fragments are dropped.
- Clean: trailing prose punctuation (the period at the end of a sentence) is
trimmed, and URLs wrapped in
( )or[ ]come out without the brackets. - Deduplicated: the same URL written twice counts once.
Everything runs locally in your browser via WebAssembly — your text is never uploaded.
Handy for
- Collecting every link out of an email, document, or chat log.
- Auditing the query parameters / hosts referenced in a blob of text.
- Building a clean, unique link list from messy input.
FAQ
Does it pick up links without http://, like www.example.com?
No. Only http:// and https:// URLs are matched — a bare www.example.com
or an ftp:// address is ignored. This keeps the results high-precision: every
candidate is also run through a real URL parser, so malformed matches are
dropped rather than guessed at.
What happens to punctuation stuck to the end of a URL?
Trailing prose punctuation — ., ,, ;, :, !, ? — is trimmed, so
"visit https://example.com/page." extracts https://example.com/page. URLs
wrapped in parentheses or square brackets come out without the brackets.
If the same link appears several times, do I get it more than once?
No — the list is deduplicated. Each unique URL appears once, in the order it was first seen in the text, and the tool reports the total count alongside the list.
What exactly does "Split into components" break out?
For every extracted URL it lists the scheme, host, port, path, query, and fragment separately — handy when you want to audit which hosts are referenced or compare query parameters across links.
