How do I remove Markdown formatting?

Paste your Markdown text in the input panel. All formatting syntax is stripped instantly — headers, bold, italic, links, code, blockquotes, and list markers — leaving clean plain text.

Are link labels preserved?

Yes. For Markdown links like [label](url), the label text is kept and the URL is removed. This preserves the readable meaning of the text while stripping the markup syntax.

Is the Markdown stripper free?

Yes, completely free. The stripping runs entirely in your browser — no data is sent to any server, and no signup is required.
