Paste to Markdown
Copy formatted text from anywhere and paste it here. The formatting comes along, so headings, lists, links and tables turn into Markdown.

Paste above and the Markdown shows here.
How to use it
- Copy text from a web page, Word, an email or a doc.
- Click the box and paste with Ctrl+V or ⌘V.
- Copy the Markdown, or download it as a .md file.
Tips
- Copy straight from the source. Pasting into another app first can strip the formatting.
- Works with Microsoft Word, Outlook, Gmail, Confluence and most web pages.
- If the tool says no formatting came with the paste, the app you copied from only shared plain text.
- Pasting from Google Docs or Notion? Their own tools handle their quirks.
Frequently asked questions
How does it keep the formatting?
When you copy formatted text, your computer keeps an HTML copy next to the plain text. The tool reads that HTML and turns it into Markdown.
What formatting is kept?
Headings, bold, italics, strikethrough, links, lists, tables, quotes and code. Fonts, colors and sizes are dropped, since Markdown doesn't have them.
Does it work on a phone?
It works wherever the browser pastes formatting. Desktop browsers do; some phones paste plain text only.
Is what I paste uploaded?
No. It's converted in your browser.
