Why this page exists

Rich text to Markdown is mostly a cleanup problem.

When people search for rich text to Markdown, they usually already have the source content. The friction starts after copying from a browser tab, Google Docs, email client, or AI answer and discovering that the formatting does not survive in a Markdown editor.

This page is tuned for that exact step. Paste formatted content, keep the meaningful structure, and leave behind the layout noise that does not belong in Markdown.

How it works

A short path from messy input to usable Markdown.

Paste formatted content

Drop copied content straight into the paste zone. The page keeps the HTML-rich layer long enough to convert useful structure instead of flattening it.

Convert the structure

Headings, emphasis, links, lists, and many tables are translated into editable Markdown you can review immediately.

Copy or download

Take the result into Obsidian, GitHub, Notion, or the JustMarkdown editor without reformatting by hand.

Best for

Typical jobs this converter handles well.

AI answer cleanup

Move formatted answers from ChatGPT, Claude, or other AI tools into Markdown notes without rewriting headings and lists.

Document copy-paste

Bring content over from document editors and keep the parts that matter for technical docs or personal notes.

Web research capture

Copy excerpts from websites and keep links and emphasis while removing the surrounding page layout.

FAQ

Questions people usually ask before converting.

What counts as rich text?

Rich text means formatted content copied from browsers, docs, email tools, or AI chats. Headings, bold text, links, lists, and tables are all common examples.

Will this keep formatting when I paste?

Yes. The page accepts pasted HTML-rich content, then converts the useful formatting into Markdown instead of flattening everything into plain text.

When should I use this instead of PasteMD Online?

Use this page when your main job is rich text to Markdown conversion. Use PasteMD Online when you also need broader normalization, HTML conversion, or export flows.
