Markdown to Google Docs
Paste your markdown here, press Copy for Google Docs, then paste into your document. Headings, lists, tables and links arrive formatted rather than as a wall of asterisks.
The result appears here as you type.
How it works
- Your markdown is rendered, then placed on the clipboard as rich text rather than as characters.
- Google Docs, Word, Notion, Confluence and Outlook all read that flavour, so the same copy works in any of them.
- The plain-text flavour of the clipboard still holds your markdown source, so pasting into a code editor gives you the original.
What it does not do
- Google Docs has its own markdown import under Tools, Preferences, but it only covers basic syntax while typing. Pasting formatted content is more reliable and handles tables.
- Code blocks arrive as monospaced text, since Google Docs has no real code block.
Questions
Is my markdown uploaded?
No. The conversion runs in your browser with code that is already part of this page. There is no upload endpoint on this site, so the file cannot reach us even in principle. Open your browser's network tab and watch: no request carries your document.
Nothing happened when I pasted. What now?
Some browsers only allow rich-text copying from a real click, and Safari is strict about it. Press the button rather than using a keyboard shortcut, and allow clipboard access if prompted.
Does this work for Notion and Confluence?
Yes. Both accept pasted rich text. Notion also imports .md files directly, which keeps code blocks intact, so for a long document that route is better.
