Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Markdown is a lightweight text formatting syntax created by John Gruber in 2004. It uses simple characters (*, #, -, [ ]) instead of HTML tags to mark bold text, headings, lists, links and more. It's widely used on GitHub, in README files, blogging platforms and documentation.

In "Text → Markdown" mode, paste formatted text (from Word, Google Docs, Gmail) and the tool detects the formatting (bold, italic, headings, lists, tables, links) and converts it into clean Markdown syntax. In "Markdown → Text" mode, enter raw Markdown and see how it renders as readable text.

From almost any source with formatted text — Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Gmail, LibreOffice Writer, even text copied from a website. The tool detects the HTML formatting hidden behind the visual appearance and translates it to Markdown.

Bold and italic text, headings (H1–H6), numbered and bulleted lists, hyperlinks, tables, blockquotes and code blocks. GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) syntax is also supported — tables and strikethrough text.

No persistent storage. Conversion happens mainly in your browser. When pasting formatted text, a short request is sent to the server only for an additional security check (sanitisation), without saving the content to a database — it's processed and forgotten.

Yes. The tool runs pasted content through multiple filtering layers before displaying or processing it, to prevent malicious code from executing in your browser.

Yes, the output is standard Markdown (with GFM extension support), compatible with GitHub, GitLab, Jekyll, Hugo, Notion, Obsidian and most platforms that accept Markdown content.

No. The tool is completely free, no registration required. It can be used repeatedly with no reasonable size limit on the text.
