How to convert Markdown to rich text
- Paste or type Markdown on the left — headings, bold, lists, links, tables, and code blocks render instantly in the preview.
- Click "Copy rich text". The formatted version goes to your clipboard as real rich text (text/html), so pasting into Google Docs, Word, Notion, or Gmail keeps headings, bold, and tables intact.
- Need the markup instead? "Copy HTML" gives you clean HTML source, and "Download .html" saves a standalone file.
Why convert Markdown to rich text?
Markdown is where drafting happens in 2026 — AI tools output it, developers write it, notes live in it. But the people you send documents to live in Google Docs, Word, and email, where pasting raw Markdown shows literal asterisks and pound signs.
This converter bridges that gap: it renders your Markdown and puts real rich text on the clipboard, so the receiving app sees formatted content — not syntax. Everything runs locally in your browser; nothing you paste is uploaded.
Going the other direction? The Web2MD extension converts any webpage to Markdown in one click, and the text to Markdown converter handles pasted rich text.
Markdown to Rich Text — FAQ
How do I paste Markdown into Google Docs with formatting?
Paste your Markdown into the converter above, click "Copy rich text", then paste into Google Docs. Because the clipboard carries text/html, Docs receives formatted headings, bold text, lists, links, and tables — not raw Markdown syntax.
Does this support tables and code blocks?
Yes. GitHub-flavored Markdown tables render as real tables that survive pasting into Docs and Word. Code blocks keep monospaced formatting; syntax coloring depends on the app you paste into.
Is this Markdown to rich text converter free?
Yes — free, unlimited, no signup. Conversion happens entirely in your browser, so your text never leaves your machine.
Can I convert rich text back to Markdown?
Yes — use our text to Markdown converter for the reverse direction: paste formatted text from Docs, Word, or a webpage and get clean Markdown back.
Need the reverse? The text to Markdown converter turns rich text back into Markdown. For editing with live preview, try the online Markdown editor.
