What URL formats are supported?

The tool supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, as well as domain names with or without protocols (like www.example.com or example.com). It extracts complete URLs including paths, query parameters, and anchors (e.g., example.com/path?key=value#section).

Does it extract URLs without http:// or https://?

Yes! The tool detects domain names even without protocol prefixes. It recognizes patterns like www.example.com, blog.site.com, or example.com/page and extracts them as valid URLs. This makes it versatile for extracting links from various text formats.

Are duplicate URLs removed?

Yes, the tool automatically removes duplicate URLs. Each unique URL appears only once in the results, regardless of how many times it appears in the source text.

Can I click the extracted URLs?

Yes! All extracted URLs are displayed as clickable links. Click any URL to open it in a new browser tab, making it easy to verify links without copying them first.

What if no URLs are found?

If the tool doesn't find any URLs, you'll see a message indicating no URLs were found. This could mean the text doesn't contain URLs, or they're in an unusual format the tool doesn't recognize.

Can it extract URLs from HTML code?

Yes, the tool can extract URLs from HTML code, including those in href attributes, src attributes, or anywhere else in the markup. Simply paste the HTML source code and click extract to find all URLs.

Does it work with email addresses?

The tool is optimized for web URLs (HTTP/HTTPS/FTP) and domain names. While it may detect email addresses formatted as mailto: links, it's primarily designed for extracting web URLs rather than email addresses.

How do I copy all extracted URLs?

Click the "Copy All" button to copy all extracted URLs to your clipboard. Each URL will be on a separate line, making it easy to paste into spreadsheets, documents, or other applications.

Can I extract URLs from very long documents?

Yes, there's no strict length limit. The tool can process large documents containing many URLs. While extremely large texts (hundreds of thousands of characters) may take a moment to process, the tool handles them efficiently.

Is my data safe when using this tool?

Absolutely. All URL extraction happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. No text or URLs are sent to any server, stored, or logged anywhere. Your data never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy.

What if URLs are split across multiple lines?

The tool handles most cases of URLs split across lines, but for best results, ensure URLs are complete and not broken by line breaks or unusual formatting. If a URL is split mid-string, it may not be detected correctly.

Can I use this for web scraping?

This tool extracts URLs from text you provide—it doesn't fetch web pages or scrape websites directly. You need to copy the content from a webpage first, then paste it into the tool to extract the URLs.
