When do you need a markdown stripper?

Email clients, public sector forms, and messaging apps rarely accept markdown. Pasting raw syntax can break layouts or trigger filters.

This tool uses remark to strip headers, links, emphasis, code blocks, and even embedded HTML so only plain text remains.

Usage tips

1
Paste the original
Drop in README files, documentation, or blog drafts—large inputs are processed automatically.
2
Inspect highlights
The preview shows exactly which tokens will disappear so you can double-check before copying.
3
Copy plain text
Use the cleaned output in CMS inputs, legacy systems, or compliance workflows.

Newsletters & email

Convert markdown posts to plain text before sending through HTML-only platforms.

CMS migrations

Extract copy from older platforms without dragging along legacy markdown syntax.

Compliance submissions

Government and legal portals often reject special characters—submit clean text instead.

Does it remove HTML too?

Yes. Embedded HTML blocks and inline tags are stripped along with markdown.

Can it handle long documents?

Absolutely. Very large inputs might take a few extra seconds but no upload occurs.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Parsing stays inside your browser.
