Frequently asked questions
What happens to links — do the URLs stay?
The visible link text stays; the URL in parentheses is removed. In prose that is usually what you want — keep the Markdown version if you need the URLs.
Why does the output keep line breaks?
Each block — paragraph, heading, list item, quote — becomes its own line so the text stays readable. If you need one continuous block, run it through the remove-spaces tool afterwards.
Are tables preserved?
The content is: one line per table row, cells separated by |. The decorative dashes row is dropped.
About this tool
Markdown reads fine in an editor, but paste it into WhatsApp, an email client or an Instagram caption and the asterisks, backticks and pound signs come along as noise. This tool strips all of it: emphasis markers vanish while their text stays, links keep their visible text, images reduce to their alt description, list bullets and heading markers disappear, and raw HTML is dropped entirely. Each block lands on its own line, so paragraphs, list items and headings stay visually separated instead of collapsing into one blob. Useful before a word count too — pair it with the character counter. Runs fully in your browser.
