Frequently asked questions

Can I paste straight from a web page?

Yes. Copy text on any page and paste it into the input box. Its formatting is kept as HTML and converted, so headings, links and lists come through.

Which elements are converted?

Headings, paragraphs, bold, italic, links, images, lists, quotes, code and horizontal rules. Tables aren't converted and are left as plain text.

What are the style options?

They choose # headings or underlined headings, the bullet character for lists, and fenced (```) or indented code blocks.

Is my content uploaded?

No. The conversion runs in your browser.
