URL Extractor

Extract all URLs from the text with just two clicks

PicoToolkit allows you quickly find and list all URLs in a given text. Just copy and paste the text or website content, and the tool will do the rest.

How does this link grabber work?

The tool will scan full text and get URLs present in the contents. The output of this URL finder takes the form of a URL list.

The list will contain all links matching URL patterns, so this includes:

• internal links
• external links
• image URLs
• URL addresses in the form of plain text

The tool works with both HTTP and HTTPS protocols.

How can our link finder help you?

The tool has plenty of possible use cases:

Test if a specific URL is present on the webpage.

This is very useful for dealing with a large document or a webpage. Note that this tool is not an entire webpage scrapper, so I will search through only the webpage and will not visit other pages in the search for URLs.

Find all external links.

If you wish to list, all external links follow the procedure.

1. Paste webpage contents into the editor.
2. Click Extract -> URLs
3. Go to Remove->Filter and select the option Leave Matches
4. As a pattern input ^http

The tool will list all URLs available in the text and then filter out those that don't start with http.

Find internal links.

For finding the internal links, the procedure is similar to before.

1. Paste webpage contents into the editor.
2. Click Extract -> URLs
3. Go to Remove->Filter and select the option Remove Matches
4. As a pattern input ^/

The tool will list all URLs available in the text and filter out those that start with http (so only internal links will stay on the list).

Extract images from the webpage.

If you wish to find URLs of images in the document, follow the procedure.

1. Paste webpage contents into the editor.
2. Click Extract -> URLs
3. Go to Remove->Filter and select the option Leave Matches
4. As a pattern input (jpg|jpeg|png|gif)$

The result of this query will be the list of URLs ending with an image extension.

Search for spammy links.

For filtering out spammy links, you may use Remove -> Lines containing and input the pattern of matching spammy links in your case.

Export links from CSV file.

The tool works great with CSV or TSV files. So if you wish to precess such file just copy and paste in contents.
