Ready to extract
Paste HTML and click Extract LinksPaste any HTML source — a snippet, a page section, or a full document.
Enter your site's base URL to distinguish internal from external links.
Click Extract Links. Use the filter chips to show only the link types you care about, then export to CSV or JSON.
The HTML Link Extractor parses raw HTML and pulls every <a> tag's attributes — href, anchor text, rel, target, and auto-detected link type (external, internal, anchor, mailto, tel). Results are displayed in a sortable table and can be exported to CSV or JSON for further analysis.
The tool extracts the href URL, the visible anchor text (including alt text from image links), the rel attribute (e.g. nofollow, noopener), the target attribute, and an auto-detected link type classification.
When you provide a Base URL, the tool compares each link's hostname to your site's hostname. Links pointing to the same host are marked internal; all others are external. Without a Base URL, absolute URLs are classified as external and relative paths as internal.
This tool works with raw HTML source. To extract links from a live page, open the page in your browser, right-click → View Page Source, select all, then paste the HTML here.
You can export results as CSV (opens directly in Excel or Google Sheets) or JSON (useful for programmatic processing). Both exports include all link attributes and respect your active filter selection.
No — the tool parses static HTML only. Links generated dynamically via JavaScript will not appear unless you copy the rendered HTML from DevTools (right-click → Inspect → copy the full <body> outerHTML).
No. All processing happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your HTML never leaves your device — there are no server calls for extraction.
An HTML Link Extractor is a tool that parses raw HTML markup and identifies every hyperlink (<a> tag) present in the document. Rather than manually scanning thousands of lines of code, you paste your HTML and instantly receive a structured table of every link's destination URL (href), anchor text, relationship attribute (rel), and automatically detected type — external, internal, anchor, mailto, or telephone.
Whether you're conducting an SEO audit, preparing a site migration, or reviewing accessibility across a large HTML template, having a clean inventory of all links is essential groundwork. This tool handles that extraction in seconds.

Links are the connective tissue of the web. Every anchor tag in your HTML influences search engine crawl behavior, user navigation, and site authority flow. A single page may contain dozens of links — to internal pages, external references, skip-navigation anchors, email addresses, and phone numbers. Auditing these manually is error-prone and slow.
Extracting links programmatically gives you a complete, structured view that you can sort, filter, and analyze. Common reasons to extract links include:
rel="nofollow" or rel="sponsored", and which pass link equity. Find internal links to redirect targets or 404 pages.rel="noopener" that could expose your page to tab-napping attacks.The tool extracts four primary attributes from every <a> element:
href — The destination URL. This can be an absolute URL (https://example.com/page), a root-relative path (/about), a document-relative path (../contact), an anchor jump (#section-id), a mailto link (mailto:hello@example.com), or a telephone link (tel:+1234567890).
Anchor Text — The visible, clickable text of the link. For image links (<a><img alt="..."></a>), the tool uses the image's alt attribute as the effective anchor text, since that's what assistive technologies announce. Empty anchor text is flagged, as it creates accessibility and SEO issues.
rel — The relationship attribute controls how search engines and browsers interpret the link. Common values include nofollow (don't pass PageRank), sponsored (paid/affiliate link), ugc (user-generated content), noopener (security — prevents window.opener access), and noreferrer (don't send referrer header). A link can have multiple rel values separated by spaces.
Link Type — The tool auto-classifies each link into one of five types: external (points outside your domain), internal (same domain), anchor (fragment identifier jump within the page), mailto (email address), or tel (phone number). This classification uses your supplied Base URL when available.
Results are displayed in a table with one row per link. The filter chips above the table let you narrow results by type. Clicking "CSV" exports the current filtered view as a spreadsheet-compatible file. "JSON" exports the same data in a structured format for programmatic use.
The stats bar at the top of results shows a quick breakdown: total links found, plus a count for each type. This gives you an instant summary before diving into the table.
For accurate internal/external classification, always enter your site's full base URL including the protocol (e.g., https://mysite.com). Subdomains like blog.mysite.com will be classified as external unless your base URL matches that subdomain.
If you're auditing a large page, paste the full page source (Ctrl+U in most browsers) for a complete inventory. For a specific section like navigation or footer links, you can paste just that portion of HTML — the tool will extract only what's in the snippet you provide.
When analyzing templates or component libraries, remember that JavaScript-rendered links won't appear unless you capture the DOM after rendering. Use your browser's DevTools to copy the live rendered HTML if needed.
For SEO work, the most critical columns are href, anchor text, and rel. Google uses anchor text as a strong signal for what the destination page is about — both for the pages you link to and (via backlinks) for your own pages. Anchor text that is overly generic, repetitive, or exact-match keyword-stuffed can trigger quality issues.
The rel attribute tells Google how to treat the link. nofollow was the original directive, but Google now treats it as a "hint" rather than a directive. sponsored and ugc were introduced in 2019 for more granular control. Using the correct value for paid links (sponsored) is particularly important — Google's guidelines require disclosure, and using nofollow alone on paid placements may not satisfy their requirements.
Internal links are especially powerful because they're fully under your control. A well-structured internal linking strategy distributes crawl budget efficiently, passes authority to important pages, and helps Google understand your site's topical hierarchy. Extracting and reviewing your internal link structure regularly — especially after content updates or migrations — is a high-value SEO maintenance task.
