Text Tools
Markdown to Plain Text
Convert Markdown to clean plain text for publishing, editing, email, notes, CMS fields, and AI prompt cleanup.
Copy the cleaned text, then continue with word counting, case conversion, or spacing cleanup.
What this tool does
Use this Markdown to plain text converter to remove Markdown syntax while preserving readable content. It handles headings, emphasis, links, images, lists, blockquotes, inline code, and fenced code blocks in your browser.
How to use it
- Paste Markdown text into the editor.
- Choose whether to preserve link URLs, keep list markers, and collapse extra whitespace.
- Copy the plain text output and continue editing, counting, or publishing.
Privacy note
Markdown conversion runs client-side. ClearUtils does not upload or store your pasted text.
FAQ
Does this remove Markdown links completely?
By default, link text is kept and the URL is preserved in parentheses. You can turn off URL preservation if you only need the visible text.
Can it keep list markers?
Yes. Enable simple list markers if bullets or numbered list labels help the plain text remain readable.
Does this tool upload my Markdown?
No. Markdown conversion runs in your browser and does not send pasted text to a server.
