URL Extractor
URL Extractor is a free browser tool that lets you find and list web links in text. All counting, matching and rewriting happens in JavaScript on the page itself, so even long confidential drafts stay in your browser. It is used most by students checking an essay against a strict word limit. Works on documents of tens of thousands of words without lag. Nothing is gated: no signup wall, no trial period, no upgrade prompt.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I use it offline? — Once the page has loaded, yes — the work happens locally, so a dropped connection will not interrupt you.
- Will formatting be kept? — No. Pasted content is treated as plain text, so bold, colours and links are dropped.
- Does it handle languages other than English? — Yes — full Unicode support, so Cyrillic, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, accented Latin and emoji are all handled properly.
- How much text can I paste in? — Tens of thousands of words is comfortable. The only real limit is how much your browser will hold.
