How it works
Paste Markdown (headings, emphasis, lists, links, code fences). We strip syntax and keep readable plain text: headings become lines, emphasis markers drop, links keep the link text (and can optionally append the URL), code fences keep their content without language tags.
A text → Markdown reverse toggle may be added later on this same URL; until then, this page is Markdown → plain text only.
For AI-chat leftovers beyond Markdown (smart quotes, invisible characters, em dashes), use the AI text cleaner. To count the result, use the word counter.
FAQ
Is my Markdown uploaded?
No. Conversion runs entirely in your browser.
Are links preserved?
Link labels stay in the text. You can choose whether to append the raw URL in parentheses after each label (UI toggle).
What about tables and images?
Tables become tab-separated plain rows where practical; image syntax becomes alt text (and optional URL). Complex HTML-in-Markdown is not fully rendered.
Difference from AI text cleaner?
This page is for Markdown documents. The AI text cleaner applies several selectable artefact rules and is better for chat paste clean-up.
