Rich text, HTML, PDF or plain text: paste Markdown, see it formatted, and take it the way you need it
It copies the formatted version, with headings, bold and italics, lists, links, tables and code, so it pastes formatted into Gmail, Outlook, Google Docs, Word and most other editors. Apps that only accept plain text get a clean plain-text version instead, without the Markdown symbols.
Paste the text into the box and choose “Copy as plain text”. The asterisks, pound signs and backticks are gone, bullets become •, links become the link text followed by the address in parentheses, and tables become tab-separated rows that paste straight into a spreadsheet. If you want the formatting kept rather than removed, choose “Copy as rich text”.
The HTML code for the document, ready for a website, a CMS or an email template. It's plain semantic HTML (headings, paragraphs, lists, tables) with no styles or classes, so it takes on the look of wherever you put it.
GitHub Flavored Markdown, the version used by GitHub, Reddit, Discord and most AI chat apps: headings, bold, italics, strikethrough, bulleted, numbered and task lists, links, images, block quotes, code blocks and tables. HTML written inside the Markdown is kept where it's safe; scripts, styles and anything else that could run code or change the page are removed.
Yes. Download PDF saves the formatted text as a PDF with real, selectable text: headings, lists, task lists, quotes, code blocks, tables and links all carry over. It's named after your first heading and uses Letter or A4 paper depending on where you are. Images aren't included, since the PDF is text only; an image's alt text is kept in italics. Like the rest of the tool, it's made in your browser.
No. The conversion runs in your browser, so your text never reaches my server or anyone else's. My site's analytics counts which button was used, the same way it counts page views, but never the text itself.
This converter can also go in the Tools menu on my homepage, next to a speed test, a password generator, a file converter and more.
