About the Markdown Stripper

Copy an answer out of ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini into an email, a CMS field, a form or a text message and it arrives covered in syntax: double asterisks around every bold phrase, hashes before headings, pipes and dashes where a table was, backticks and code fences.

Paste the markdown and get plain text back, with the words, paragraph breaks and list order intact. Headings, bold, italics, strikethrough, blockquotes, horizontal rules, inline code and footnote definitions are removed. You choose what happens to the rest: links become their text or text followed by the URL, list markers are kept or removed, and tables become tab-separated rows that paste neatly into a spreadsheet.

Optional passes remove emoji, replace em dashes with commas, and join everything into a single paragraph for fields that do not accept line breaks. Code block contents are protected from the other passes, so underscores and asterisks inside code survive.

Frequently asked questions

ChatGPT writes markdown, where **text** means bold. The chat window renders it, but plain-text destinations such as email subjects, forms and many CMS fields show the raw symbols.
