How to Extract URLs and Links from Any Text

Pull all web links from documents, emails, chat logs, and HTML source code using a free tool.

Links get scattered across emails, documents, chat logs, and web pages. Collecting them manually is tedious. The Extract URLs tool scans any text and pulls out every HTTP and HTTPS link into a clean, deduplicated list.

Where Links Hide

URLs appear in email threads (meeting links, shared docs, reference links), Slack and Teams chat exports, research documents with citations, HTML source code, and bookmark exports. Paste any of these into the tool and extract all links instantly.

How It Works

The tool matches all standard URL patterns starting with http:// or https://. It handles query strings, fragments, paths, and ports. Results are deduplicated so each unique URL appears only once.

For HTML Source

If you're extracting links from HTML, you can also use the Extract Links from HTML tool, which specifically pulls href attributes. This catches relative URLs that the general URL extractor might miss.

Pipeline Example

For a research workflow: paste a document, Extract URLs to get all links, then use your browser to check each one. For chat logs, combine with Normalize Whitespace first to clean up formatting before extraction.
