Link Builder

Turn a list of URLs into ready-to-paste anchor tags.

Paste 50 URLs, hit go, paste 50 polished <a href> tags into your page.

Link Builder takes a plain list of URLs — one per line — and emits a matching list of fully-formed HTML <a> tags. Configure the anchor text pattern, target attribute, rel attribute, and class once; the tool applies them to every URL.

What it does

Paste a list of URLs. Choose an anchor-text rule (use the URL itself, use the domain, use the page title fetched from the URL, or specify a custom pattern). Choose target, rel, optional class. Hit convert. The output is a list of HTML anchors ready to paste into a page.

Example

Input:

https://example.com/page1
https://example.com/page2

Output (with "Use domain as text" and target="_blank" rel="noopener"):

<a href="https://example.com/page1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">example.com</a>
<a href="https://example.com/page2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">example.com</a>
