About URL Extractor
URL Extractor is a set of focused tools for collecting, checking and tidying web addresses. Most of the work happens in your browser; where it cannot, we say so.

What this is
URL Extractor is eleven tools that do one thing each, well: get web addresses out of the place they are currently stuck, and then let you filter, de-duplicate, clean and export them.
There is no account, no trial, and no upgrade prompt. The tools are free to use.
Who it is for
The same job comes up for very different people:
- A student or researcher collecting the sources out of a long document.
- A writer or editor checking which links a draft actually contains.
- A developer pulling href values out of markup, or turning a sitemap into a list.
- Someone in SEO or content operations planning a migration and needing the old URL list as a spreadsheet.
- Anyone who has been sent a screenshot of a link instead of the link.
The site is written in plain English for an international audience. The .in in the domain is where it is registered, not who it is for.
How your input is handled
This is the part worth being specific about.
Processed in your browser, never uploaded: text, HTML, URL lists, images and PDFs. The parsing code runs in the page, in JavaScript and WebAssembly. You can verify this by opening your browser's network panel while you use a tool.
Sent to our server, because it has to be: the address of a page or sitemap you ask us to fetch. Your browser cannot read another website directly — that restriction is what keeps the web safe — so fetching happens on our side.
For multi-step jobs like a crawl, we store the small amount of state needed to show progress and resume, tied to a token that only your browser holds, and delete it automatically. The privacy policy covers all of this in detail.
How the tools are built
A few decisions that shape everything:
Nothing is silently rewritten. If we trim a full stop off the end of an address, the row says so. If we assume https:// because the text said www., the row says so. If two addresses look similar but differ in a way that matters, they stay separate.
Limits are stated. Every tool has a section describing what it cannot do. A crawl cannot find unlinked pages. OCR cannot recover a link hidden behind the words "click here". A sitemap is not proof that a page exists. Those are not disclaimers added at the end; they are the most useful part of knowing which tool to use.
Exports contain the real results. The table may paginate; the download does not.
Editorial approach
Guides are published under the name URL Extractor Editorial, which is this site's editorial identity rather than a person. We do not invent named authors, job titles, credentials or review approvals.
What we do instead: run every code example and spreadsheet formula against the environment named alongside it, cite primary sources where a claim needs support, give each guide a real publication date, and update the modification date only when the content meaningfully changes. The editorial policy describes the process and how to report an error.
