Frequently Asked Questions About Our HTML Link Extractor Tool
What is an HTML Link Extractor?
An HTML Link Extractor is a specialized tool designed to parse HTML code and identify all hyperlinks (anchor tags or <a>
elements) within the content. Our tool automatically extracts both the URL (href attribute) and the link text, displaying them in an organized format and allowing for easy export.
How do I use this HTML Link Extractor?
Using our tool is simple: paste your HTML code into the text area, click the “Extract Links” button, and instantly view all links from your HTML. You can then export the results to CSV by clicking the “Export to CSV” button or clear the input to start over with the “Clear” button.
Is my HTML data secure when using this tool?
Yes, your data is completely secure. Our HTML Link Extractor operates entirely within your browser (client-side processing), meaning your HTML content never leaves your computer. We don’t use any server-side processing or store any of your data.
Can this tool handle large HTML files?
Yes, our tool can process HTML files of various sizes. However, extremely large files (several MB) might cause your browser to slow down temporarily during processing since all operations happen in your browser. For optimal performance, consider breaking very large files into smaller sections.
Can the HTML Link Extractor identify broken links?
Our basic tool extracts links but doesn’t automatically check if they’re broken. However, once you’ve exported the links to CSV, you can use specialized link checker tools to verify which links are working and which are broken.
Does the tool extract image links too?
The HTML Link Extractor specifically focuses on extracting <a>
tags (hyperlinks). It doesn’t automatically extract image URLs from <img>
tags. However, if images are wrapped inside anchor tags, the tool will extract those links.
What format is used for the exported CSV file?
The exported CSV file contains two columns: “Link” and “Title.” The “Link” column contains the URL (href attribute), and the “Title” column contains the text content of the link. The file uses proper CSV formatting with quotation marks around fields and escaping of special characters.
Which browsers support this HTML Link Extractor?
Our HTML Link Extractor works with all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and Opera. The tool uses standard web technologies like Shadow DOM for style isolation, which are widely supported in current browser versions.
Can I extract only specific types of links?
The current version extracts all links in the HTML. You can filter the results after extraction by searching the table or by exporting to CSV and filtering in a spreadsheet application. For frequent users with specific needs, we recommend using the exported CSV with spreadsheet filters.
Can I embed this Link Extractor in my own website?
Yes, the HTML Link Extractor is designed to be easily embedded in any website. It uses Shadow DOM technology to isolate its styles from the parent page, ensuring it works correctly without style conflicts regardless of where it’s embedded.
How does the tool handle relative links?
The HTML Link Extractor preserves relative links exactly as they appear in the original HTML. It doesn’t automatically convert relative links to absolute URLs. If you need absolute URLs, you’ll need to process the exported CSV separately or modify the source HTML before extraction.
How can I use this tool for SEO analysis?
SEO professionals can use our HTML Link Extractor to analyze internal linking structures, identify anchor text patterns, audit outbound links, check competitor websites, and ensure proper link distribution throughout content. After exporting to CSV, you can perform detailed link analysis in tools like Excel or Google Sheets.
Can I extract links directly from a URL instead of HTML code?
The current version requires you to paste HTML code directly. To extract links from a URL, you’ll need to first view the page source of the website (usually by right-clicking and selecting “View Page Source”), copy the HTML, and then paste it into our tool.
Is there an API available for this Link Extractor?
We don’t currently offer an API version of the HTML Link Extractor. However, since the tool is client-side JavaScript, you can integrate similar functionality into your own applications using the same techniques used in our tool.
Can it extract links generated by JavaScript?
The HTML Link Extractor processes static HTML code, so it cannot extract links that are dynamically generated by JavaScript after the page loads. To capture JavaScript-generated links, you would need to capture the HTML after the JavaScript has executed (for example, using browser developer tools).
Can I download all linked resources using this tool?
No, the HTML Link Extractor only identifies and lists links; it doesn’t download the resources those links point to. To download linked resources, you would need to use a separate download manager or web scraping tool with the exported list of URLs.
Does the tool extract other link attributes like rel, target, or title?
The current version focuses on extracting the href attribute (URL) and the text content of links. Additional attributes like rel, target, or title are not included in the extraction. If you need these attributes, consider enhancing the tool with custom JavaScript or using a more specialized crawler.
How much does it cost to use the HTML Link Extractor?
Our HTML Link Extractor is completely free to use with no restrictions or limitations. There are no premium versions, subscription fees, or hidden costs. It’s a free utility designed to help web developers, SEO specialists, and content creators in their daily work.
