Paste anything — HTML or plain text — and get clean markdown instantly. Auto-detects the format so you never have to choose.
Three steps. Five seconds.
Click "Paste clipboard" to grab content from your clipboard, or type / paste directly into the textarea. HTML and plain text are both accepted.
The tool scans your input in real time. If it finds HTML tags, it converts them to clean markdown. If it is already plain text or markdown, it passes through unchanged.
Copy the markdown to your clipboard with one click, or download it as a .md file. Switch to the Preview tab to see the rendered result before copying.
One input box handles HTML and plain text automatically — no mode switching, no configuration.
No need to choose a mode. The converter scans your input for HTML tags and switches automatically between HTML-to-markdown conversion and plain-text passthrough.
Detection uses a simple regex check for any HTML element tag. If your pasted content contains tags like <p>, <h1>, <table>, or <strong>, Turndown converts them to markdown. Otherwise the text is left exactly as-is.
The "Paste clipboard" button reads both text/html and text/plain MIME types from your clipboard, picking up rich text that a plain paste event would miss.
When you copy from a webpage, Word, or an email client, the clipboard holds multiple formats simultaneously. The Clipboard API can read the HTML version, giving a much cleaner conversion than a plain text paste would.
Every keystroke updates the output in real time. There is no button to press — the markdown output is always current with whatever is in the input.
Conversion uses Turndown with the GFM plugin for GitHub-Flavored Markdown, giving you tables, strikethrough, task lists, and fenced code blocks without any configuration.
Everything happens in your browser. Your content never leaves your device. No account, no rate limits, no data retention.
The Turndown library runs as JavaScript in your browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server. You can verify this by watching the Network tab in browser DevTools — zero outbound requests.
Everything you need to know.
The converter checks whether your input contains any HTML element tags (a regex scan for <tagname patterns). If tags are found, Turndown converts the HTML to markdown. If no tags are found, the content is passed through unchanged — useful if you are pasting plain text or already-written markdown.
