Guides

URL to HTML fetches a live web page server-side and returns its raw HTML source — the same markup you'd get from "View Source", minus the browser tab. Handy when a site blocks the page from being fetched by your own code (CORS), or when you just want the source without opening dev tools.

How to use this tool

  1. Enter the URL of the page you want to inspect.
  2. Click Fetch HTML.
  3. Copy the source, or download it as a .html file.

What it's for

  • Web scraping and data extraction — grab a page's markup to parse or archive without wiring up your own fetch/CORS handling.
  • SEO and dev debugging — check exactly what markup a server actually sends, before any client-side JavaScript runs.
  • Archiving — save a snapshot of a page's HTML as it exists right now.

Privacy

The URL is fetched server-side, not from your browser — this avoids CORS restrictions but means the request comes from our servers, not yours. Requests to localhost and private/internal network addresses are blocked. Nothing is stored after the response is returned to you.

To convert the fetched HTML into clean prose instead of raw source, see the HTML to Markdown Converter (paste the HTML you got here into it). To pull just the title, meta tags, and headings out of a page, use the HTML Meta Extractor, which can also fetch a live URL directly.

URL toolkit

Thirty-one tools for everything a URL can become: its raw HTML, clean text, Markdown, structured JSON or XML, a screenshot, a PDF, or a QR code — plus tools to inspect its meta tags, heading outline, links, and IP addresses without opening it. Every live-fetch tool here runs server-side, so it works even on sites that block cross-origin requests from a browser. Round it out with a combined multi-scheme encoder/decoder and the focused single-purpose tools underneath it.
