How it works

Step by step

1
Paste Markdown or open a file
Use README content, Markdown fragments, or a local Markdown/text file.
2
Choose options
Control link targets, alt text, code blocks, list markers, task status, and table layout.
3
Use the plain text
Copy the extracted text or download it as a TXT file.

Input, file, and result are processed in the browser and are not uploaded.

Headings, emphasis, links, lists, tables, and code are output as readable plain text.

Structure can be preserved or reduced to one compact line.

The complete result can be copied or saved as a UTF-8 text file.

Is this a Markdown renderer?

No. The tool does not render HTML or show a preview. It outputs plain text only.

Are links or images loaded?

No. Link targets and alt text are read as text only. External resources are not opened.
