Markdown to Text: List Numbers, Links, and Image Extensions — Tutorial

Paste or upload Markdown and strip syntax into readable plain text. Ordered lists keep their numbers, links become text(url), images keep their file extension, and a blank-line dropdown chooses remove-all or keep-one. Everything runs locally in your browser.

Markdown to Text Tool Interface

Features

  • Paste Markdown, or click “Upload MD” (title row, with upload icon) for .md / .markdown files (max 2MB).
  • Strip headings, quotes, tables, unordered lists, emphasis, code fences, and more.
  • Keep ordered-list numbers.
  • Links as text(url); images as alt + extension (e.g. image-xxx.png).
  • Blank-line dropdown (always available): remove all / keep single.
  • Convert, copy, or reset (reset restores the blank-line default).

How to Use

  1. Paste Markdown, or click “Upload MD” at the top right of the title to load a local file into the input (does not convert automatically).
  2. Choose “Remove all blank lines” or “Keep single blank line” (editable even with empty input).
  3. Click “Convert” to see the result below (auto-copied).
  4. You can copy again, or reset to start over.

Notes

  • Processing stays in the browser; nothing is uploaded to a server.
  • Max 10,000 characters for input or result; oversized upload/convert is truncated with a toast.
  • “Keep single blank line” collapses consecutive blank lines to one.
  • Image extensions are taken from the path (spaces in paths are supported); unresolved reference links keep the label only; link-definition lines are dropped.
  • Underscore/asterisk emphasis requires flanking (non-word sides), so file_name / a*b*c are not stripped; inline footnotes [^1] are removed.
  • Code fences support ``` / ~~~; unclosed fences keep body raw through EOF.
