Clean Plain Text from Markdown

Markdown is the universal standard for technical writing, but publishing to plain-text mediums (such as email newsletters, SMS, or plain text forms) requires removing formatting syntax. Text Cleaner cleanly strips headers (#), bold (**), italics (*), blockquotes (>), horizontal rules, and keeps the visible link text while removing the URLs.

How to use this tool:

  1. Paste or type your text into the editor box above.
  2. Click the highlighted action button to run the transformation instantly on your device.
  3. Click Copy to place the cleaned text onto your clipboard.
