About this tool
Paste Markdown and get plain text back, with headings, bold, italic, code ticks, link brackets, and list markers removed but the words themselves kept. Link text survives while the URL is dropped, and image alt text survives while the image syntax goes. It is the fastest way to get a clean excerpt for a plain-text email, a caption, or a word count.
Frequently asked questions
Do links keep their text?
Yes. The visible link text stays and only the bracket and URL syntax is removed.
What happens to code blocks?
The fence markers are removed and the code words themselves are kept as plain text.
