About Markdown to Rich Text Conversion
Plenty of tools convert Markdown to HTML code, but pasting raw HTML into Word or Gmail just gives you angle brackets. This tool goes one step further: it renders your Markdown and writes the result to your clipboard in two flavors at once — a text/html version that rich text applications read, and a text/plain version (your original Markdown) for plain-text targets. The receiving application picks whichever flavor it understands, so the same copy works everywhere.
This is the fastest way to draft emails, meeting notes, and documents in Markdown and deliver them in tools that expect formatted text. GitHub-style callouts (like > [!NOTE]), task lists, and tables all render before copying. Conversion happens entirely in your browser — your text never leaves your device.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did the "Copy as Rich Text" button fail?
The rich text copy uses the asynchronous Clipboard API with ClipboardItem, which some browsers restrict or older browsers lack. If it fails, use the Copy HTML button and paste the HTML into a tool that accepts it, or try a Chromium-based browser.
Will tables paste correctly into Word and Google Docs?
Yes. Markdown tables are converted to real HTML tables before copying, and both Word and Google Docs turn them into native, editable tables on paste.
What happens when I paste into a plain-text field?
Plain-text targets (like a code editor or a terminal) receive the text/plain flavor, which is your original Markdown — so nothing is lost either way.
