Accepts .md, .markdown
How it works
Click the dropzone above or drag a Markdown from your desktop. Files of any size, there's no upload, so there's no upload limit.
The conversion runs entirely in this tab using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file never touches our servers, we don't have any.
Get your TXT the moment the conversion finishes. Convert another, or close the tab.
Your file is never uploaded. The entire conversion runs in your browser using WebAssembly. We can't see what you convert because we have no server to see it.
Server converters cap free users at 1-2 GB and gate larger files behind a paid plan. Since nothing uploads, our limit is whatever your browser can handle.
No account required. No watermark on the output. No queue. Drop a file, get a converted file.
Why convert Markdown → Text
You want the words without the syntax: feeding prose to a tool that chokes on Markdown, pasting into a plain-text-only field, counting words, or producing a clean reading copy with the #, *, and link brackets gone.
Your release notes are in Markdown but the email system wants plain text. Convert to TXT here and the headings, bullets, and emphasis become readable plain prose with the markup stripped, link text kept.
I wanted the literal Markdown source, not stripped text.
This route renders the Markdown the way a reader sees it and then removes the formatting, so #, **, and link syntax are gone. If you want the raw Markdown characters, just rename your .md file to .txt instead of converting.
Formats involved
Markdown is plain text with simple punctuation conventions for formatting, # for headings, * for lists, ** for bold, links as [text](url). Created by John Gruber in 2004 and now the default for GitHub READMEs, documentation sites, and modern note-taking apps (Obsidian, Notion-export, Bear).

FAQ
Yes. No signup, no watermark, no daily file count limit. Every conversion runs in your browser, your file never touches our servers because there are no servers.
Nowhere. The conversion runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript and WebAssembly. Your file is never uploaded to our servers. We don't have any servers handling files, there's nothing for us to log, store, or accidentally leak.
Whatever your browser can hold in memory. Practically, this means a few hundred MB on most computers, significantly larger than the 1-2 GB caps that server-upload converters charge for. Very large files (multi-GB) may require closing other browser tabs first.
Documentation, READMEs, notes, blog posts. Universal text interchange. The most common reason to convert is compatibility, TXT works in places where Markdown doesn't, or vice versa.

Once the page is loaded, the conversion itself runs entirely offline. The first time you use a tool, your browser downloads the conversion library (a one-time cache). If you reload while offline, the page won't load, but you can install the site as a Progressive Web App for full offline use.
Single file at a time for now. Batch conversion is on the roadmap, for now, drop one file, download the result, then convert the next.
