Extract URLs
Find and list all links from a block of text or URL
What Is the Extract URLs Tool?
The Extract URLs tool scans a block of text or fetches a webpage and pulls out every link it finds, displaying them as a clean list in the output. You can paste in any content containing URLs, or enter a live page address and let the tool retrieve the links directly from the page. It is used for link auditing, content research, collecting references from a document, and any task where you need all the URLs from a source gathered into one place without sifting through the text manually.
Finding and copying links from a long article or a web page one by one is more tedious than it sounds when there are twenty or thirty of them, which is exactly the kind of small repeated task this tool is built to skip past.
How to Use This Tool
- Paste text containing links into the input area above, or enter a webpage URL to have the tool fetch and scan the page's content directly.
- No settings needed. The tool scans for all URL patterns in the input regardless of format, including full https addresses and other link types.
- Click Extract URLs and every link found in the content appears in the output area, one per line.
- Copy the result using the Copy button, or select and copy manually. Use Clear to reset the input.
When Would You Use This?
Collecting all the external links from an article, a report, or a research document you have been given, so you can review the sources, check for broken links, or pass the list to someone else without manually hunting through the text.
Auditing the outbound links on a webpage for SEO or content quality purposes, by entering the URL and getting a full list of every link the page contains so you can see where it is linking out to.
Extracting URLs from a batch of copied emails, forum posts, or scraped content where links are scattered throughout the text and you need them in a consolidated list for further processing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I extract URLs from text?
Paste your text into the input area and click Extract URLs. The tool scans the content and returns every URL it finds as a separate line in the output.
Can I extract links from a live webpage?
Yes. Enter the webpage address into the input and click the button. The tool fetches the page content and extracts the links from it.
Does it extract both internal and external links?
Yes. All URLs found in the content are extracted regardless of whether they point to the same domain or a different one. If you need to separate internal from external links, you can filter the output afterward.
What types of URLs does it extract?
It identifies standard web URLs starting with http:// or https://. Some tools also pick up relative links, email addresses formatted as mailto: links, and other URL-like patterns, though support varies.
How do I extract all links from a webpage in Python?
Use the requests and BeautifulSoup libraries: import requests; from bs4 import BeautifulSoup; soup = BeautifulSoup(requests.get(url).text, 'html.parser'); links = [a['href'] for a in soup.find_all('a', href=True)]. For a quick manual extraction without coding, use this tool.
Can I use this to find broken links on a page?
You can use this tool to get a complete list of links from a page, then paste that list into a link checker to test each one. The two tools work well together for a basic link audit.
Does it remove duplicate URLs?
That depends on the implementation. If the same link appears multiple times in the source content, it may appear multiple times in the output. Run the result through a remove duplicate lines tool if you want a unique list.
How many URLs can I extract at once?
No hard limit is set for text-based input. For URL-based extraction, the size of the fetched page content affects how much is processed. For very large pages with hundreds of links, check the output to confirm all links were captured.
