Frequently Asked Questions
Are links removed completely?
By default link text is kept; URLs are dropped unless you choose a mode that retains them.
Does it handle code blocks?
Fenced code content is extracted as plain text without backticks.
Does this upload my Markdown?
No. Conversion runs locally in your browser.
Can I download the plain text?
Yes. Use Download .txt to save output.
Will list bullets remain?
List markers are removed; item text is kept on separate lines when possible.
How is this different from HTML to Plain Text?
This tool targets Markdown syntax. HTML to Plain Text strips HTML tags and entities.
Can I convert back to Markdown?
This tool is one-way. Keep your source Markdown if you need the original syntax.
Does it preserve line breaks?
Paragraph breaks are generally preserved based on your Markdown structure.
