Frequently Asked Questions
Does it delete my text?
No. It only strips the markdown formatting markers (like #, **, _, [text](url)). All of your actual prose and text content remains exactly the same.
How to strip Markdown syntax to Plaintext
Formatting is great for reading, but sometimes you need unformatted plain text. Copying Markdown raw still leaves delimiters like hashes, asterisks, and brackets. This tool strips them all.
What formatting is removed?
- Headings (hashes removed, text preserved)
- Bold & Italic indicators (asterisks and underscores stripped)
- Links (brackets and URLs removed, link anchor text preserved)
- Code blocks and inline code quotes
- Lists and task checkboxes
