What is a URL extractor?

A URL extractor is a tool that scans a block of plain text and pulls out every web address it finds. It looks for strings that start with http:// or https:// and continues until it reaches a space or punctuation marks the end of the link, then returns them as a clean list. It is a quick way to harvest links from emails, chat messages, documents, articles or logs without reading through them by hand.

The tool also deduplicates — if the same link appears several times, it lists it once — and cleans trailing punctuation such as commas and closing brackets that sometimes stick to an address. The output is ready to paste into a spreadsheet, a link checker, a crawl list or a browser.

Everything runs locally in your browser, so the text you paste is never uploaded.

How to use the URL extractor

Paste your text into the input box.
The URLs are extracted automatically as you type.
Click Copy to grab the deduplicated list, one link per line.

Example

Paste "Check https://example.com and https://example.com/pricing, plus http://test.org" and the tool returns two URLs on separate lines — https://example.com, https://example.com/pricing and http://test.org — with the duplicate removed and the trailing comma stripped.

Common use cases

Collecting the links inside a survey, whitepaper or email thread.
Building a list of sources from a long article or research note.
Harvesting URLs from log files or exported data.
Gathering competitor or backlink URLs to check and review.

Pro tips

This tool extracts plain-text URLs; use an HTML extractor for links buried in page markup.
Paste one document at a time and review the output for stray punctuation.
Use the deduplicated list to avoid checking the same page twice.
Trim the result into a spreadsheet column for easy sorting and filtering.

FAQ

What URLs are found?

Only http and https addresses are picked up. Other schemes such as mailto, ftp or javascript: are ignored.

Are duplicates removed?

Yes. If the same URL appears more than once, it is listed only a single time.

Does it visit the links?

No. The tool only scans your text locally — it never requests or opens any of the URLs.

Is it private?

Yes. Your text is processed in your browser and nothing is uploaded or stored.

Will it strip punctuation?

It strips trailing characters like commas, periods and closing brackets that are not part of the real address.

How are links separated?

The extracted URLs are printed one per line, which makes them easy to paste into a spreadsheet or a crawler.

Are the text tools free?

Yes, every text tool on ToolCubby is free with no signup and no limits.

Can I use it in a gallery or article?

Yes, it is useful for grabbing the source links from any block of text in a paragraph or a list.

What if a URL wraps over a line?

Line-wrapped URLs are generally not merged; for clean results, paste text where links are on a single line.
