Frequently asked questions

How do I remove Markdown formatting?+

Paste the Markdown above. Symbols such as #, *, _, backticks, > and [link](url) syntax are removed, leaving readable text. Paragraphs, line breaks and list items are kept.

What happens to links and images?+

Links keep their text followed by the URL in parentheses, so nothing is lost. Images are replaced by their alt text.

Why does ChatGPT output show ** and ## symbols?+

Those are Markdown. ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini write in Markdown, and apps that do not render it show the raw symbols. Paste the answer here to get clean text, or use the Markdown to Rich Text converter to keep the formatting.

Can I convert a .md file to .txt?+

Yes. Open the .md file, paste its contents here and download the result as a .txt file.

Are tables and code blocks handled?+

Code blocks are kept as they are, without the fences. Table cells are separated by tabs so they paste cleanly into a spreadsheet.

Is it private?+

Yes. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
