About formats

MD

MD (Markdown) is a lightweight plain-text markup language created by John Gruber, designed to be easily converted to HTML and other structured formats. Markdown uses simple punctuation characters to denote headings, lists, code blocks, links, and emphasis, and is the de facto format for README files, documentation, blogs, and static site generators such as Jekyll and Hugo.

TXT

TXT is a plain text file format that stores unformatted character data without any styling or metadata.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is converting MD to TXT free?
Yes. This MD → TXT converter runs entirely in your browser and is completely free — no account, no credits, no watermark.
Which devices and platforms can I use to convert MD to TXT?
Any modern device with a current web browser: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iPhone and iPad. There is nothing to install — the conversion happens locally.
Are my MD files uploaded to a server?
No. Files never leave your device. The entire MD → TXT conversion runs locally in your browser, so your data stays private.
Can I convert multiple MD files at once?
Yes — batch conversion is supported. Add as many MD files as you like and convert them to TXT in one pass, then download the results together.
What is the maximum file size?
There is no fixed server-side limit because the conversion happens in your browser. Practical limits depend on the available memory and CPU of your device.
Will converting MD to TXT lose quality?
No. TXT is a lossless format (or used in a lossless mode here), so the original data from your MD file is preserved bit-for-bit in the converted result.
Does TXT support transparency?
No — TXT has no alpha channel. Transparent areas of your MD file will be filled with a solid background colour in the converted file.
How will the file size change after converting MD to TXT?
Both formats use comparable compression, so the TXT output will be similar in size to your MD file — typically within 10–20% of each other.
