Find HTTP and HTTPS URL-shaped text in a passage, trim likely surrounding punctuation, and keep the first spelling of each equivalent parseable URL. The tool does not open destinations. Paste text and run the extractor. It finds HTTP or HTTPS links, keeps balanced parentheses, removes unmatched closing brackets and common sentence-ending punctuation, and lists each parseable normalized URL once while preserving its first spelling. A URL-shaped value the browser cannot parse is retained and compared by exact spelling. Balanced parentheses remain part of a URL; unmatched closing brackets and common trailing punctuation are treated as surrounding text. Parseable URLs are compared in normalized form; text that cannot be parsed as a URL is retained and deduplicated by exact spelling. The tool does not visit or verify destinations.

How to use it
Paste text and run the extractor. It finds HTTP or HTTPS links, keeps balanced parentheses, removes unmatched closing brackets and common sentence-ending punctuation, and lists each parseable normalized URL once while preserving its first spelling. A URL-shaped value the browser cannot parse is retained and compared by exact spelling.
Limits
Balanced parentheses remain part of a URL; unmatched closing brackets and common trailing punctuation are treated as surrounding text. Parseable URLs are compared in normalized form; text that cannot be parsed as a URL is retained and deduplicated by exact spelling. The tool does not visit or verify destinations.
Frequently asked questions
Are parentheses inside a link preserved?
Yes, balanced parentheses remain part of the URL. An unmatched closing parenthesis or square bracket, and common trailing sentence punctuation, are treated as surrounding text.
How are duplicates compared?
For URLs the browser can parse, the tool compares their normalized forms and outputs the first spelling. If a URL-shaped value cannot be parsed, it is retained and only exact duplicate spellings are collapsed.
Does the extractor check whether a link works?
No. It does not open the URLs or check whether a destination exists.
