Frequently Asked Questions

Does it extract relative links (like /about-us)?

This specific tool is optimized to find absolute URLs, which typically start with `http://` or `https://`. Relative paths without a domain name may not be captured.

Can I paste raw HTML source code?

Yes! The extractor is designed to ignore the HTML tags and specifically hunt down the URLs inside the `href=` attributes or standard text.

Will it remove duplicate URLs?

Currently, the tool extracts the links exactly as they appear in the text. If a link appears five times, it will be listed five times. You can use our companion ‘Remove Duplicate Lines’ tool to clean up the final list.
