How markdown to plain text converter works
Common Markdown syntax for headings, links, emphasis, code, lists and blockquotes is removed while readable content is retained. Link labels are kept while their destinations and formatting marks are removed.
Important limitations
This is a lightweight text conversion, not a full Markdown renderer. Complex nested lists and embedded HTML may need manual review.
Check the result before using it
Try the output in the app, device or workflow that requested it. Review the visible content and format before replacing an original file or sharing a generated link. Browsers and other services can handle edge cases differently, so keep a source copy when the input matters. This tool does not guarantee that a receiving service will accept every result.
Example input
# A useful heading Read **this guide** and [visit the website](https://example.com). - First item - Second item
Does this preserve Markdown formatting?
No. It keeps readable words and removes most Markdown markers. Use Markdown to HTML when you need formatted output.
Is input uploaded?
Processing takes place in your browser. This tool does not send your input or selected files to a conversion API.
