Extract recognizable URL patterns from a passage and join them into a clean list. Follow the exact input and settings below to reproduce this example. Open Extract URL from Text.
Prepare the source text
Open Extract URL from Text and choose Write or paste text, or upload a supported UTF-8 text file. The upload opens the editor; it does not run the tool. This example uses the exact source shown in the comparison.
Maximum input and editable TXT result: 1 MB of UTF-8 text, with a 1,048,576-character input ceiling. Expanding transformations must also fit the TXT result limit. CSV files can be larger because they include column headings, quoting and separators.
Use the exact example input
Visit https://example.com/a and www.example.org. https://example.com/a
This text operation runs in your browser; its source and result are not sent for conversion. A draft may be kept in this browser tab when session storage is available. Clear removes the current draft; download important work before closing the tab.
Choose the settings
For the recorded example, use these settings: Separate results with: Line break; Sort results: Off.
Exact duplicate strings are removed. Without Sort results, matches stay in first-seen order. You can choose line breaks, commas, spaces or comma-and-space separators. The tool finds text patterns; it does not open the links or fetch the pages they refer to. Recognized URLs can include international domain names, Unicode paths, IPv6 hosts and balanced parentheses in a path. Common sentence punctuation at the end is trimmed while the retained URL keeps its original spelling.

Apply and inspect the result
Select Extract URL from Text when the input and settings are ready. In the saved example, the result begins: "https://example.com/a".
This is not a link availability or safety check. Review trailing punctuation and unusual URL formats before using the result.
Result overview shows the number of unique matches and a row for each URL. Use a row's copy icon to copy the complete URL, including a value shortened on screen, or the main copy icon for the entire text list. No matches is a valid empty result.
Result overview distinguishes changed, unchanged and empty results. An unchanged result means the selected operation did not alter the text; an empty result can be the expected outcome of removal or extraction. The table shows 50 rows per page and at most 12 columns. Long cells are shortened after 160 Unicode code points on screen; CSV retains all rows, columns and complete values.
Save the version you reviewed
Review the table and choose TXT or CSV beside the download icon. TXT saves the editable result as extract-url-from-text.txt; CSV saves the complete table as extract-url-from-text.csv, including data beyond the visible preview. CSV places each match in its own row, independent of the separator chosen for TXT. Continue to offers compatible next tools for the current text and their limits. Review the transferred text before running the next operation.
CSV describes the last conversion, so editing the result hides the table and disables CSV until you rerun the tool. Copy and TXT download still use your edited text. Formula-like CSV values receive a leading apostrophe to prevent spreadsheet formula execution.
