Common Questions
How do I convert markdown to plain text?
Paste your markdown into the tool above and click Format Now. The converter strips asterisks, hashtags, and other markdown syntax so you can copy clean plain text or download a Word document.
Why does my ChatGPT output have asterisks and hashtags?
ChatGPT and Claude often respond in markdown. Double asterisks (**) mark bold text, and hashtags (#) mark headings. This tool converts that markdown into readable text or a formatted document.
Can I copy formatted text for Google Docs?
Yes. Use the 'Copy Formatted Text' button to copy HTML that Google Docs will recognize, preserving headings, bold, italic, and other formatting.
Is this really free?
Yes. No signup, no email, no ads. Just a free markdown formatter that preserves formatting for Google Docs or gives you clean plain text.
What formats can I upload?
You can upload .txt and .md files. You can also paste markdown directly from any AI chat, IDE, or note-taking app.
Does this work with GitHub or documentation markdown?
Yes. The tool works with most standard markdown, including headings, lists, links, and emphasis, and converts it to clean, readable text.
