When converting plain text to HTML, what tags does it add?

Basic structural tags like paragraphs and line breaks, giving you simple, valid HTML rather than a bare wall of text.

Is this the same as the Remove HTML Tags tool?

Similar in the HTML-to-text direction, but this tool also converts the other way (text to simple HTML), which Remove HTML Tags doesn't do.

Will complex HTML with styling convert cleanly to text?

Yes, all markup and styling is stripped in that direction, leaving just the readable text content.

Does HTML ↔ Text Converter upload my files to a server?

No. HTML ↔ Text Converter runs entirely in your browser using on-device processing, your files never leave your device.
