HashdraftRemove Markdown formatting
Convert Markdown to clean plain text
Markdown to plain text conversion removes formatting markers while keeping the words and useful reading order. It is handy for copying content into a basic text field, preparing an accessibility-friendly fallback, indexing text, or reusing a draft where Markdown syntax is not supported.
Removes visual markers
Heading hashes, emphasis characters, code fences, quote markers, and link syntax are translated into readable text rather than deleted blindly.
Keeps list structure
Choose whether bullets and numbering remain in the output. Nested list content stays in sequence so instructions and outlines still make sense.
Controls link destinations
Keep URLs when the destination matters, or remove them when you only want the visible link label in the final text.
How to strip Markdown formatting
- Paste the source document into the Markdown panel.
- Choose whether the output should retain list bullets and link URLs.
- Review tables and code-like content, then copy the plain-text result.
Markdown to plain text questions
What happens to tables?
Table cells become tab-separated text, which keeps rows readable and makes the result easier to paste into spreadsheet-like tools.
Does plain text keep bold or headings?
No visual style remains. The words are kept, while spacing and line breaks preserve enough structure for reading.
