Copy formatted text from a web page, Word, an email or a doc, paste it below, and get clean Markdown instantly. Everything runs in your browser, nothing is uploaded.
Rich text to clean Markdown, from any source
When you copy from a web page, Word, an email client or a Google Doc, the clipboard carries the underlying HTML, not just the words. This tool reads that HTML and rewrites it as GitHub-Flavored Markdown, so a formatted article becomes the headings, lists and links you can drop into a README, an issue, or a static site.
It is the fastest way to turn something you are reading into something you can commit. Because it parses the HTML the source app puts on your clipboard, results are best when you copy rendered content rather than raw source. For the Google Docs case specifically, the Google Docs to Markdown tool adds extra cleanup for smart quotes and hidden spacing.
How to use it
- Copy any formatted text (a web article, a Word doc, an email).
- Paste it into the left panel.
- Copy the Markdown that appears on the right.
FAQ
Which formatting is supported?
Headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, links, ordered/unordered lists, task lists, tables, inline code and code blocks all convert to GitHub-Flavored Markdown.
Can I paste raw HTML?
Yes, if you copy rendered content the tool reads the HTML directly. Pasting plain HTML source will be treated as text; copy the rendered page for best results.
Is it private?
Completely. The conversion is done locally in your browser with no network calls, so your content stays with you.
Does it work with content copied from Notion or Confluence?
Usually yes. Any app that puts HTML on the clipboard when you copy will convert, and the richer that source HTML, the more structure is preserved.
What happens to images?
A copy-paste does not carry the image data, so inline images are dropped. Text structure, links and tables come through.
Converting the same doc over and over?
md2gd keeps your Markdown and the real Google Doc in two-way sync, edit in either, no copy-paste, no re-formatting.
