Convert common Markdown headings, emphasis, links, images, quotes and lists into readable text; keep link destinations, code content and ordered list numbers. Tables become tab-separated rows. Paste Markdown and run the converter. Link destinations are kept in parentheses, ordered list numbers and task checkboxes remain visible, fenced code keeps its contents without the fence, and simple tables become tab-separated rows. This lightweight converter is not a full CommonMark parser: complex nesting, unusual link destinations, raw HTML and extensions may need manual cleanup. Input is limited to 1,000,000 characters.

Frequently asked questions
What happens to links and images?
Links include their destination in parentheses; images keep their alt text and source URL. Reference links are resolved when a matching definition is present.
How are code and tables handled?
Fenced code keeps its text without the fence or language label. Simple Markdown tables become tab-separated rows; this converter does not implement every Markdown extension or nested construct.
