Rich text to Markdown

Turn formatted text into clean Markdown, free in your browser with no sign-up. Copy from a web page, Word, Google Docs or an email and paste it here. Headings, bold, italic, lists, links and tables carry over.

How to use it

  1. Select and copy the text in the app it's in.
  2. Click into the box above and paste with Ctrl+V, or Cmd+V on a Mac.
  3. The Markdown tab opens with the result, ready to copy or download.

Have a file rather than text to copy? Use Word to Markdown for a .docx, or PDF to Markdown. For a page in a wiki, Confluence to Markdown and Notion to Markdown understand those apps' layouts.

What it keeps

  • Headings, bold, italic and strikethrough
  • Nested lists, links and quotes
  • Tables, as Markdown tables

Where it struggles

  • Colours, fonts and sizes have no Markdown form, so they're dropped
  • Pictures copied from an app may not come with the text
  • .rtf files can't be opened; paste the text instead

Frequently asked questions

Nothing changed when I pasted. Why?

The app may have put only plain text on the clipboard, or you pasted without formatting. Copy again and paste with Ctrl+V or Cmd+V.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing is sent to a server.
