Convert pasted text to Markdown
Quick answer
Copy formatted text from Google Docs, Word, Notion, an email or a web page, paste it into the box, and it comes out as Markdown with headings, lists, links, bold and italics kept. Your clipboard carries the formatting as HTML; this tool converts that HTML. Nothing leaves your browser.
How it works
When you copy formatted text, your clipboard holds an HTML version alongside the plain text. The tool reads the HTML version and converts it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a Google Doc to Markdown quickly?
Select the text in the document, copy it, and paste it here. For a whole public document, Google Docs to Markdown fetches it by link.
Why did my formatting disappear?
Some apps copy plain text only. Copy from the app itself rather than from a preview, and paste with an ordinary paste, not paste as plain text.
Are images kept?
Images keep their links when the source copied them as web addresses. Images that exist only on your computer cannot travel through a paste.
