FAQ
What Markdown formatting is removed?
The converter removes common headings, emphasis, blockquotes, code markers, image syntax, horizontal rules, and link markup while retaining readable content.
Can I keep URLs from Markdown links?
Yes. Keep link URLs is enabled by default, producing link text followed by its destination. Turn it off to retain only the label.
Does it preserve lists?
List content is retained. You can keep simple bullets and numbered markers or remove them for unadorned lines.
Can I download the converted text?
Yes. Download the current result as a UTF-8 .txt file or copy it directly to your clipboard.
Will every Markdown extension convert perfectly?
The tool handles common Markdown syntax. Custom directives, embedded components, and application-specific extensions may remain as text or need manual cleanup.
