How to Extract Links from HTML: Pull Every URL from a Page

To extract links from a page, paste its HTML into a link extractor and let it pull every anchor href out for you, sorted and deduped. No scrolling through source, no copy-pasting one URL at a time. Here is how it works and what you can do with the results.

What a link extractor does

A link extractor reads pasted HTML and collects every link inside it. From there it organizes the list so you can actually use it:

• Internal vs external: links pointing inside the site versus links going elsewhere.
• Dofollow vs nofollow: which links pass authority and which carry rel="nofollow".
• Anchor text and counts: the visible text for each link, plus how many links there are.
• Deduped: the same URL listed once, not fifty times.

It works on the HTML you give it. View source on a page (or copy the HTML from your editor or CMS), paste it in, and you get a clean, structured list in seconds.

Why pull links out of a page

A flat list of URLs is the starting point for a lot of SEO and dev work:

• SEO audits: check internal linking, spot pages with too many external links, and confirm nofollow is applied where you intended.
• Finding broken or redirect candidates: gather the URLs first, then run them through a checker to see what 404s or chains.
• Building a list: collect outbound references, citations, or resource links from a page you are reviewing.
• Site migrations: capture every link on a page before you move it so nothing gets dropped or mispointed.

Doing this by hand means hunting through markup for <a href> tags. The tool does it instantly and catches links you would miss.

Extract links in three steps

1. Open the Link Extractor.
2. View source on the page you want (or copy its HTML), then paste the markup into the box.
3. Read the sorted results, internal, external, and nofollow, with anchor text, and copy the list you need.

The Link Extractor runs entirely in your browser. It inspects the HTML you paste and does not crawl or fetch any URL, so nothing leaves your device.

• Indexability Checker: once you have your links, confirm the important pages can actually be indexed.
• robots.txt Tester: check whether any extracted URL is blocked from crawling.
• robots.txt Builder: write or fix the robots rules that govern those pages.

Paste your HTML, grab the full link list, and skip the manual hunt through source.
