0 review item(s)The source produced a readable text body.
56 words remain in a deterministic reading order.
Every image has an explicit alt decision.
1 image carries meaningful alternative text; empty alt images are treated as decorative.
Usable destinations are represented in the output.
2 source links are rendered using the selected inline rule.
1 hidden block was excluded.
This usually prevents preview padding, preheaders, and accessibility-hidden duplicates from becoming visible body copy.
Prose is wrapped to the declared line width.
The longest output line is 64 characters with a 78-character target.
1 table was linearized.
Review the result manually. Visual email tables can represent layout, tabular data, or both, and source markup alone cannot always distinguish them.
Conversion does not prove MIME parity.
Compare the generated text with the final compiled HTML and inspect the delivered multipart/alternative message after provider processing.
HANDOFF
Keep the alternative beside the template.
Export the exact text and a machine-readable record of the conversion choices and source evidence.
THE TEXT/PLAIN CONTRACT
A plain-text alternative is a second authored representation.
It should preserve the message's meaning, identity, required disclosures, and important destinations without exposing layout scaffolding, invisible preview copy, tracking clutter, or an unreadable wall of URLs.
Generate it from the final compiled HTML, then review it as its own message. Provider transformations, conditional content, personalization, and legal footer assembly can all create drift.
- 01Compile
Start from the final HTML after templates, localization, personalization, and provider transforms.
- 02Convert
Map blocks, headings, lists, tables, images, and links to explicit text rules.
- 03Read
Review the output in order without relying on the HTML beside it.
- 04Compare
Confirm that promises, prices, dates, instructions, disclosures, and destinations agree.
- 05Deliver
Inspect the final multipart/alternative MIME and test a client that can show plain text.
CONVERSION QUESTIONS
What makes an email plain-text version useful?
Message parity, a coherent reading order, recognizable destinations, deliberate image decisions, compact structure, and a final delivered-MIME check.
Is this the same as stripping every HTML tag?+
No. Blind stripping loses paragraph boundaries, lists, headings, table relationships, image meaning, and link destinations. This converter interprets common email structures before normalizing text.
Should every URL appear in plain text?+
Important destinations should remain usable. Inline URLs are direct, reference links keep prose compact, and text-only mode can hide destinations entirely. Review the result for both usability and trust.
Should image alt text always be included?+
Include meaningful alternative text when the image carries information. Empty alt usually marks a decorative image. A missing alt attribute is not a decision, so the tool reports it for review.
Why is hidden preheader content removed?+
Preheaders are often source controls for inbox preview behavior, not the intended opening of the plain-text body. Include hidden content only when the compiled message meaning requires it.
Does removing UTM parameters affect reporting?+
It can. The option improves readability but may change campaign attribution. Keep tracking when the analytics contract requires it, or use a short first-party destination designed for visible text.
Can this prove the delivered email has a text/plain part?+
No. It creates the content for one. Inspect the final MIME message to confirm multipart/alternative assembly, content type, transfer encoding, charset, and parity after provider processing.
