Markdown to Plain Text
Remove Markdown syntax and keep the words. Lists stay as bullets, tables become aligned columns, and links keep their URLs in brackets.
How it works
Step 1
Paste Markdown
Paste a document or drop a .md file into the input pane.
Step 2
Check the text
The plain-text version updates as you type.
Step 3
Copy or download
Copy the text or download it as a .txt file.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to links?
Link text is kept and the URL is added in parentheses, unless the text already is the URL.
What happens to images?
Images are replaced by their alt text.
Why use plain text?
For SMS, form fields, app store descriptions, email clients without HTML, and anywhere Markdown symbols would show up literally.
Is my text uploaded?
No. Conversion happens entirely in your browser.
