What types of content can I paste and convert?

You can paste rich text from Google Docs, Microsoft Word, Notion, web pages, emails, or any source that copies HTML to the clipboard. Plain text is also fully supported, with line breaks preserved.

What are the conversion mode options?

There are three modes: Auto-detect (default) picks the best method based on your clipboard content, Force Plain Text ignores any HTML and treats everything as plain text, and Force Markdown Pass-through outputs your content as-is without any transformation.

What happens if the clipboard API is not available in my browser?

A warning banner will appear letting you know the clipboard API is unavailable. You can still use the tool by manually pasting your content into the provided textarea.

Does this tool send my clipboard data to a server?

No. All conversion happens entirely in your browser using the Turndown library. Your clipboard content never leaves your device.

Why does my pasted content sometimes look different than expected?

Some applications copy content with complex or non-standard HTML that may not map perfectly to Markdown. You can switch to Force Plain Text mode if you want a simpler, stripped-down result.
