Best Mass URL Extractor: Bulk URL Extractor for Web Links


When you work with long documents, email threads, or spreadsheets, links hide everywhere. Clicking each one is slow and easy to mess up.


This article shows a practical workflow for using URL Extractor as a simple mass URL extractor: paste once, see every link in one list, then copy or open only what you need.

Quick steps


  • Copy rich content from Sheets, docs, or email.
  • Paste into URL Extractor with `Ctrl + V` or `Cmd + V`.
  • If you pasted plain text, click Convert URLs to Links.
  • Click GET URL to build a list of links.
  • Delete noise, edit labels, then Copy All or Open All.

    What this workflow gives you


  • One place to see all links from a block of content.
  • Bulk edit, delete, copy, and open actions.
  • Anchor text preserved when it exists.
  • Everything running in the browser so your content stays local.

    1. Copy your source content


    Good sources include:


  • Google Sheets cells that contain hyperlinks
  • Sections from Google Docs, Word, Pages, or other editors
  • Long email threads or meeting notes
  • Exported HTML from another system

    • Try to copy from a place that preserves formatting. When the clipboard contains HTML, URL Extractor can read `<a href="...">` tags and keep anchor text.

    2. Paste into URL Extractor


  • Open URL Extractor in your browser.
  • Click in the “Paste Your Content” area.
  • Use `Ctrl + V` (Windows / Linux) or `Cmd + V` (macOS) to paste.
  • If the helper text changes to something like “Hyperlinks detected”, you know rich text was preserved.

    • Even if you only have plain‑text URLs, you can still work with them in the next step.


    3. Convert plain text (if needed)


    If you pasted plain text and the content has visible URLs but no hyperlink styling:


  • Click Convert URLs to Links.
  • URL Extractor will wrap detected URLs in anchor tags so that later extraction is more reliable.

    • You only need this step when no hyperlinks were preserved from the source.

    3. Run “GET URL” and review


    Now trigger the actual extraction:


  • Confirm that the input area contains the content you want to process.
  • Click the yellow GET URL button.
  • Wait a moment while the tool scans the HTML and builds a list.

    • You will see each link as a separate row, with its URL and (when available) its display text.


    Now quickly clean the list:


  • Delete internal navigation links or file paths you do not care about.
  • Edit labels so each link is easy to recognise outside the original document.
  • Spot obvious duplicates and decide whether to keep one or several.

    • URL Extractor does not rewrite URLs automatically, so you stay in control. You can trim tracking parameters yourself when you want a cleaner list.

    4. Choose how to use the links


    Once the list looks right, you usually do one of two things.


    Copy everything


  • Use Copy All to put all URLs on the clipboard.
  • Paste into a spreadsheet, note, or issue tracker.

    • Open everything


  • Use Open All to open each URL in a new tab.
  • Allow pop‑ups if your browser asks for permission.

    • You can also copy or edit individual links directly in the list when you do not need bulk actions.

    5. Clear before the next batch


    When you finish working with one batch of content:


  • Click Clear to reset the input and the results.
  • Paste the next block of content and repeat the same steps.

    • Keeping each batch separate makes it easier to track what you have already processed.

    6. Handling messy real‑world content


    Real content is rarely clean. Here are a few patterns you might see and how to handle them.


    Hidden hyperlinks from spreadsheets


    In tools like Google Sheets, hyperlinks often sit behind display text. URL Extractor can read these as long as the HTML copy is preserved. If you paste and see no links:


  • Try copying again directly from the browser version of the sheet.
  • Avoid exporting to CSV and copying from there, because CSV only contains plain text.

    • Tracking links in email campaigns


    Email tools wrap every URL in tracking redirects so they can measure clicks. When you extract from a newsletter or campaign brief, you might see long redirect URLs.


    You can:


  • Leave them as is if you need the exact campaign links.
  • Manually shorten or replace them with cleaner versions if the tracking layer is not important for your task.

    • Mixed content: web links, mailto, files


    URL Extractor will list any link it can recognise, including:


  • Standard web URLs.
  • `mailto:` email links.
  • File links or internal document anchors.

    • You can freely delete entries you do not want to keep. The idea is to give you a complete picture first and then let you narrow it down.

    FAQ


    Is “mass URL extractor” different from “bulk URL extractor”?

    Not really. Both phrases describe the same idea: extracting many links at once instead of one at a time.


    Can URL Extractor work as a web link extractor for HTML?

    Yes. If the pasted content contains HTML with anchor tags, URL Extractor can read them and list all matching links.


    Does it send my content to a server?

    No. The parsing and list building happen in the browser. Your pasted content stays on your machine.


    Can I open all links at once?

    Yes. Use Open All. If your browser blocks the action, allow pop‑ups for this page.


    Can I edit links before copying them?

    Yes. You can change text or delete entries directly in the results list before using Copy All.
