Clean up AI text

Markdown to plain text

AI answers are written in Markdown, so pasting them elsewhere leaves stars, hashes and pipes behind. Paste one here and get clean text back.

Free tool · Updated

Keep
Plain text

Paste Markdown above and the plain text shows here.

How to use it

  1. Paste the Markdown answer in the box.
  2. Choose whether to keep list bullets and link addresses.
  3. Copy the plain text, or download it as a .txt file.

Tips

  • Tables become tab-separated rows, so they paste neatly into a spreadsheet.
  • Code blocks keep their content and lose the fences.
  • Keep link addresses to put each URL in brackets after its link text.
  • A chat's own Copy button gives you Markdown, which is why the symbols show up.

Frequently asked questions

Why does ChatGPT text have asterisks and hashes?

The chat formats answers in Markdown: **bold**, # headings and - lists. The chat window shows the formatting, but other apps show the raw symbols.

What does it remove?

Heading marks, bold, italics, strikethrough, code marks, link and image syntax, quote marks, table lines and HTML tags. The words stay.

Can I keep the bullets?

Yes. Leave List bullets on to turn - and * into •. Turn it off for no bullets at all.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. The conversion runs in your browser.
