Remove Markdown Formatting

Convert Markdown to plain text: remove asterisks, headings, links, code ticks, and tables from ChatGPT output or any .md file.

Markdown in

Plain text out

Your text is processed on your device and never uploaded anywhere.

Markdown out, words intact

Markdown is everywhere AI is: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and most coding tools answer in it. That's useful in apps that render it and noise everywhere else — emails, CMS fields, Google Docs, subtitles, print.

This tool strips the full syntax in one pass: bold and italic markers, headings, blockquotes, bullet and numbered list markers, inline code and code fences, horizontal rules, links, images, and tables. What remains is exactly your text, with paragraph structure preserved and list items normalized to a simple leading dash.

When stripping isn't what you want

Removing Markdown discards emphasis. If you're posting to LinkedIn and want the bold to survive as styled Unicode text, use the LinkedIn Formatter — it converts formatting instead of deleting it. If your problem is odd line wrapping rather than symbols, the line break remover is the right tool.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my ChatGPT answer full of asterisks and # symbols?
ChatGPT formats answers in Markdown, a plain-text syntax where **text** means bold and # starts a heading. Apps that render Markdown show it styled; everywhere else you see the raw symbols. This tool removes the syntax while keeping the words.
What happens to links and images?
Links like [label](url) keep their label and lose the URL wrapper. Images are replaced by their alt text. If you want to keep URLs visible next to the link text, use the LinkedIn Formatter instead — it has a 'keep link URLs' option.
Does it handle tables and code blocks?
Yes. Table rows become plain lines with the pipe characters removed, table separator rows are deleted, and code fences (```) are removed while the code inside is kept as-is.
Will my text be uploaded anywhere?
No — the conversion happens in your browser with JavaScript. Nothing is sent to a server, which also means the tool is instant regardless of how much text you paste.
