🔒 Nothing leaves your browser — zero network requests with your text.
Markdown remover
What gets stripped
**bold** and *italic* marks, __underscores__, ### headers, - and 1. list markers, > blockquotes, `inline code`, ``` code fences, ~~strikethrough~~ and [link text](urls) — links keep their visible text and lose the URL. The result is plain text that pastes cleanly anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to links?
The visible link text is kept; the URL in parentheses is removed. If you need the URLs preserved, copy them before cleaning.
Can it convert markdown to HTML instead?
No — this tool goes to plain text only, which is what pasting into Word, email or forms needs.
