What is a URL Extractor?

A URL Extractor is a utility designed to automatically scan a block of text and extract all the web links (URLs) contained within it. Instead of manually searching for every hyperlink, this tool uses pattern recognition to identify text strings that look like URLs (e.g., `https://example.com`, `http://www.anothersite.org`) and lists them for you. It's a massive time-saver for anyone who needs to compile a list of links from an article, source code, or any other text document.

What Problem Does This Tool Solve?

Imagine needing to get a list of all the websites mentioned in a long research paper or a competitor's blog post.

Our URL Extractor solves this problem by automating the task, providing a complete and accurate list of all URLs in just a few seconds.
