Hyperlinks are helpful when a piece of writing needs more context or evidence. However, in some cases, users need a piece of writing without any embedded links.
For Google Docs users removing multiple links at once might be a bit tricky since the tool doesn’t offer a straightforward option for this action.
The hyperlinks can be manually removed from a Google Docs document. Still, users will need to use an add-on or paste the document without formatting to remove all hyperlinks from previously copied documents.
This article will go through all the methods of removing hyperlinks from a Google Docs document.
Paste without formatting option means formatting like line breaks, different font sizes, bolding, or hyperlinks won’t appear in the text you paste.
Using this feature, you won't have to remove formatting elements from documents manually.
The text you copied will appear as if you had typed it directly into the application you're pasting into.
You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+V for Windows and Cmd+Shift+V for Mac.
